So far there are over 190 signed up for the Quilt Along which is super exciting! :)
Get the Hampton Court pattern right here.
Hampton Court includes 4 sizes - Throw, Twin, Queen, and King - and is scrap and yardage friendly. This is a strip pieced quilt pattern, so you won't be sewing together individual bricks unless you really want to. Instructions include both strip piecing and traditional piecing.
Hampton Court is based in King Henry VIII's castle, Hampton Court, from the 1500s. The design with varying brick sizes can be found on the exterior of the castle.

As this is to be a stress free sew along, I will not be posting any pictures. It is something that is not a part of my life and can not do easily. I wish I could so I would be entered into the door prize. I am using Tula Pink for most of it. I only have fat eights so I have to see what more I need. Still deciding on the background. Navy, Navy Dot, or White on White. Happy Creating.
