*** Block Wednesday, Grandma's Kitchen ! ***
Grandma's Kitchen is the heart of the family! You might be a Grandma, or like me, you enjoy remembering your grandma. This is a 25 block Quilt Along (QAL) that will be a sweet trip down memory lane.
- This quilt has multi color sashing and I will be using a fat quarter bundle, plus some of what I own tossed in.
- The lights in my bundle will be used as much as possible for the backgrounds
- As I've been doing, I have the supply list and layout in this PDF so you can sew blocks together as we go.
- It is not a mystery as I did run this quite a few years ago. Many of you were not part of my community at that time, or you may have not had a chance to sew it when it first ran. Even if you did, grab new fabric and have some fun with me!
- If you do NOT want a surprise, you can look at the QAL I ran 7 yrs ago where there are photos at https://patsloanquilts.com/grandmas-kitchen-sew-along/

On the last page of my pattern below is an alternate layout for those you do not want a asymmetrical quilt or that prefer to do fewer blocks.
*** Start Date ***
- Starts Jan 2,2025 (to kick off it is on thurs) to June 25, 2025
- Size is 62" x 82" for the asymmetrical and you pick 54" x 54" or 54" x 68" with fewer blocks for the symetrical

- If you prefer a more consistent background get 1 1/2 yds of a light. That gives you plenty to work with. I showed this one on my video for adding into my quilt https://shrsl.com/4r16s
- Binding I am using https://shrsl.com/4rhgw
- I suggest you pick up a few more fabrics if you have one you want to repeat more often than a Fat Quarter will handle.
- I will add in a bit from my own fabric if needed.

2024 was a much better year than the previous two years which were marked with lots of loss of beloved family members. The most exciting thing to happen in 2024was when both of my boys got engaged. Now we have happy things to look forward to, plus my husband and I will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary.
