Get Ready for the Paris Letters Quilt Along!

Bonjour, quilting friends!

The Paris Letters Quilt Along is just around the corner, and I cannot wait to sew along with you this summer! This quilt along is extra special because I’m co-hosting it with my dear friend Patty Basemi. We’ve teamed up to create a fun, free pattern just for you, featuring our newest fabric collections— Love Letters and Mademoiselle.

You’ll find everything you need right here to get started—quilt kit links, fabric tips, a full schedule, and a peek at all the amazing prizes up for grabs!

✂️ When Does the Quilt Along Start?

Mark your calendars! We kick things off on Monday, June 23, 2025, and we’ll be sewing right through August 11, 2025.

Each Monday, you’ll receive an email with that week’s focus—plus helpful tips, step-by-step guidance, and encouragement to keep you motivated and inspired. Whether you like to stay ahead or take it slow, the schedule is designed with flexibility in mind:

Weekly Schedule:

• Week 1: Fabric Selection, Planning & Organizing
• Week 2: Cutting Fabric Pieces
• Weeks 3–5: Block Construction (this is the juicy part!)
• Week 6: Catch-Up Week (because life happens)
• Week 7: Assembling the Quilt Top

Take it one stitch at a time—this quilt along is designed to be fun, flexible, and inspiring. You’ll have a full week to focus on each part of the quilt, so there’s plenty of time to enjoy the process—whether you’re sewing on weekends, early mornings, or squeezing in stitches after dinner.

🛒 Grab a Quilt Kit

If you love the idea of starting with a curated bundle, here are a few shops offering Paris Letters Quilt Kits featuring gorgeous handpicked fabric combos.

Want to Use Your Stash?

Good news—this quilt pattern is super stash-friendly! We’ve provided the fabric requirements so you can start planning your quilt now, whether you’re pulling from your stash, picking up a kit, or heading out on a shopping spree to find the perfect fabrics.

Starting in Week 1, I’ll be sharing:

• Tips for choosing your fabrics
• Planning tips to help make this a smooth quilt along
• Organizing your workspace

The version Patty and I made flows in a soft, romantic palette of blush, cream, dusty blue, and delicate florals, giving it a timeless, almost vintage feel. It’s elegant, cozy, and full of charm. I’ll be sharing tips on how we chose our fabrics and played with light and contrast—but truly, there’s no wrong way to make this quilt your own!

Whether you’re reaching for those cherished fat quarters or diving deep into your bins, this is the perfect project to stretch your creativity.

Oh—and did I mention weekly prizes?

One of my favorite parts of any quilt along is the chance to give back to you. Each week, we’ll be choosing a winner from those who post their progress photos. You don’t have to be “caught up” to win—you just have to be sharing your journey. So grab your phone, snap a pic, and let the stitching world cheer you on!
