Quilt Along Fabric Pull
Are you excited? I know I am. There is only one month to go before the first-ever Create with Claudia Mystery Quilt Along begins. I’ve been working hard to get everything ready, and that includes my quilt along fabric pull.
I saw these bright and cheerful fabrics on line at the Fat Quarter Shop, and immediately fell in love with them. I knew that they would be perfect for this quilt along.
Not being able to resist any of them, I ended up buying the bundle, adding the navy floral print, and finishing off my choices by including the simple off-white with the mini green dot for the background fabric.
Because I didn’t need as much fabric as I had purchased, I ended up with plenty left over in some of the colors, but that is ok, I can make a scrap quilt with them.
My Quilt Along Fabric Pull For the Blog Posts
The fabrics that I purchased for the blog posts are all from various Moda collections which include:
- Best Friends Forever by Stacy Iest Hsu
- Flower Sacks by Me and My Sister
- Sweet Harmony by American Jane
- Essential Dots
For folks that like to learn by watching a video, I will also be doing a monthly video tutorial. You will be able to find them on my YouTube channel.
My Fabric Pull For the Video Tutorials
For the videos I decided to make a Christmas version of the mystery quilt. The fabrics I chose were various pieces that I have had in my fabric stash for years. Most of them are not true Christmas prints. Instead they are various reds, greens and golds that I thought went well together.
Have you done your quilt along fabric pull yet?
If you’ve already pulled your fabrics, show them off so we can all see! Use the hashtag #createwithclaudiaqal and post them to social media.
If you haven’t, no problem. Start raiding your fabric stash to see what you come up with. This quilt is a great way to use up some larger scraps you may have.
Everything you need to know about the quilt along can be found on this blog post.
I hope you will be joining in on the fun.
*This mystery quilt along is for entertainment purposes only. There are no prizes or giveaways.*

January 1, 2020 at 3:19 PMGlad you will be joining in! That is a tough question because each month has different requirements. I wrote a post about the quilt along & fabric needs (the link is on my home page). I do use the same background fabric each month. We also don’t do 8 blocks every month (just 2 of the months). Many of the months don’t need fat quarters.

July 7, 2020 at 10:08 PMJust joined today. Finishing July block this eve. I will be doing a kitchen wall hanging with the blocks, therefore, I’m not doing all of the blocks just one for each month. Is there a place to post pictures of completed blocks? I would like to see others and what they’ve completed. Thank you so much for this opportunity totally enjoying this 2020 mystery. I particularly really enjoyed learning how to do flying geese today with the method that you used. First time for everything. Thank you again., Sharon, North West California.
