Here is Wendy’s Announcement post https://ivoryspring.wordpress.com/2025/12/03/announcing-blooming-scrappy-qal/
Dates – Jan 21 to about April 8
Book is required – https://tidd.ly/4mrASQE or here https://amzn.to/3KLj71i
Supply list: Since this is scrappy Wendy recommends
— a FQ Bundle or 35+ Fat Quarters. I am using https://tidd.ly/3MONILR
— Background of 4 yards. I tend to recommend for scrappy quilts you get a little more so if you really want it all the same background you have enough if you end up redoing a block. I find that happens with scrappy quilts
—- UPDATED 1/20/2026 – Wendy’s block schedule AND LAYOUT to download from her website https://ivoryspring.wordpress.com/blooming-scrappy-qal/
— the errata page for the cat blocks for people who have the books from the first printing:
Fabric I’m using is In the Garden – https://tidd.ly/3MONILR
There will be 2 layout options, I’m doing the one with the Kitties

Hi I have my book and have a couple ideas for colors. I am going through stash. I couldn’t find the size of this quilt anywhere. Could someone please post the size. Thanks.
I can not figure out the cutting instructions.
Will Kendall be sewing along on this one? I may need his help;)
Have my book and the fabric I’m using. Excited to start.
I printed out a couple copies in black-and-white and I’m coloring them using the colors I have in the fabric I’m going to use. Seeing what will look best. I’m just so excited lol
Just bought the book. This will be my first QAL that I have joined. I don’t like samplers as they seem disjointed to my ADHD mind. But this one has symmetry to it.
I really want to do this but I can’t afford the fat quarter bundle. If using scraps what is the largest piece I would need?
Hi there, it looks like the largest piece is the tulip body and it is just under 8×8”.
Look in your book at the blocks and you will see all the pattern sizes.
The cutting instructions are for the whole quilt, not just one or 4 snails. I am lost.
Pat, I can’t wait to do this quilt along!!!! I purchased the book, and have my FQ bundle ready!!
I can never get links that have
tidd.ly to work. I try Firefox and
Chrome. What is the book for
the January QAL?
Try the Amazon link below it.
I ordered it from Amazon and it was supposed to be here by today and I just got a notice that it won’t be here until January 18? So I just canceled it and ordered it from fat corner shop. They were out of it when I first ordered it. Hopefully it’ll be here in time.
