Today we mark the first week of the Summer Sampler 2018 : Summer Road Trip Quilt Along!  We are kicking off this summer quilt along with a block designed by Katie Blakesley of Swim, Bike, Quilt.  This block is inspired by a 15th Century Water Well in India.

I decided to pull from my stash for this year's quilt along.  I am planning on basically following the rainbow layout.  I pulled fabrics from my Carolyn Friedlander stash, and then added in some pinks/purples from other designers.  (I think mainly Karen Lewis and Cotton+Steel.)

It's not too late to sign up for this quilt along.  When you sign up after the start date, you will get all the patterns that we've release to-date.  You can catch up on past blocks on your own schedule and continue quilting along with the group (550+ quilters!) as we release weekly block patterns.

I'm so excited to see everyone's quilts take shape over the next few months!  Happy sewing everyone!
