Icicles Quilt Along- Information Post

 

Hello, Everyone!  Today I'd like to tell you about the upcoming quilt along that I am hosting.  We will be making the Icicles quilt from Season to Taste: Quilts to Warm Your Home All Year Long.

In case you don't know, here is a look at the cover of Season to Taste-

You can buy it from:    Amazon

For this quilt along, we are going to be making the Icicles quilt.  When I wrote this pattern, I made a blue version and put it in the Winter section of the book.  However, this quilt could be in any color scheme so don't feel limited if you don't want to make blue version.  I'm thinking on my fabric now and I think I'm going to do a Christmas version in red, white, and green.

Here is what the original Icicles quilt looks like-

I have had many requests to do a quilt along for this quilt and I'm so happy to be fitting it in before the end of the 2021.  During this quilt along, we will deep dive into making dresden plates and making blocks that use triangle pieces.  You'll need the book for the pattern and templates.  However, I'll walk you through making the blocks and the quilt as a whole.

Here is the schedule we will follow during our quilt along.
