Meadow Mist Designs: Camden Road Quilt Along

The Camden Road Quilt Along is being hosted by Cindy of Hyacinth Quilt Designs and myself and will run from January 28th - March 24th, 2020. The Camden Road pattern contains instructions for baby, lap, and twin sizes and you can make any size you would like during the QAL.

Post on social media with #CamdenRoadQAL to share your progress with the other quilters.

How many blocks you should aim to complete each week depends on the quilt size you are making, we will have 5 weeks of block making, followed by 3 weeks to catch up on blocks and sew the quilt top together.

You do not have to follow the number of blocks per week, if you prefer you could make all of the flying geese one week, the corner units another week, etc. The only link-up for prizes will be at the end of the quilt along with the quilt top and/or finished quilt

Baby size - 9 blocks - aim for 2 blocks/week

Lap size - 20 blocks - aim for 4 blocks/week

Twin size - 30 blocks - aim for 6 blocks/week

Pattern
