The Aiming for Accuracy quilt-along (QAL) was held in the Summer/early Fall of 2013. The lessons, blocks and detailed photo tutorials have been removed from this site and are now available for sale as a complete booklet.
Find out more about it here: Aiming for Accuracy Booklet.
It’s finally time to submit your quilt top photos to be eligible for one of the grand prizes for our Aiming for Accuracy Quilt-Along.
The A4A Booklet will be available October 31st. If you’ve enjoyed the QAL, I do hope you’ll show your support and purchase the Booklet.
If you’re new here, check out the main QAL page where you’ll find all the information that you need, including the links to all the lessons.
