Busy Hands Quilts: Hampton Court Quilt Along Week 2!

Welcome to Week Two of the Hampton Court Quilt Along! All QAL information is posted in the newsletter, and participants link up their progress here on the blog.

Get the Hampton Court quilt pattern in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

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.

Schedule

Each step is two weeks:
February 15 Fabric Selection / Cutting
March 1 Make Strip Sets
March 15 Assemble Quilt Top
March 29 Finished Quilts (link-up ends April 11th at midnight Pacific time)

Make Strip Sets

Over the next two weeks we're making strip sets and cutting segments.

Here are my strip sets; I haven't cut the segments yet. I was going to make a blue and white quilt but didn't have enough blues in the stash and had plenty of black prints, so black and white it is! Because the three other Hampton Court quilts I've made have a variety of colors in them, I wanted this one to be a single colorway with white.

Prizes!

One random participant will receive their choice of two PDF Download quilt patterns from my shop, Busy Hands Quilts!

Be sure I have a way to contact you without having to do a bunch of sleuthing. If you are a no-reply blogger, I can't reach you.

The winner from last week's link-up is Linda!
