Quilt Crochet Along

[Bende - Forum Admin]

Is everyone ready?  How about we get this quilt started!  I'm not quite done with the sweater I'm working on, or my bingo bag, but I know the quilt is a big project and I know I'll want to do other things in between, so i'll work on all three.  Who's in???  Here's a site that has some cute quilt patterns..pick your quilt and let's get started!!!!  I'm excited about this one!!!  If anyone else has a site that has free quilt patterns that we can all look at for choices, please post them here!  Thanks!

The quilt thing I don't think I will be able to do. Not into following patterns I go by trial and error. Right now just trying to finish up the things I have in mind that is on my WIP list and trying not to make it bigger. Done with my craft box and hook case will be hopeful done later today.

Good luck you all on your quilts.

Would love to  be in on this crochet along but better not right now. To many wips now
Love looking at the patterns and looking forward to seeing  what you all come up with.

I have all squares done but joining them all has become a problem and am getting disappointed with it.  The problem comes in when making sure that the two-colored squares go in the right direction to make the pattern.  This is the same quilt that Nutty has already done.  Think I might put it aside for a while and try something else and then go back to the quilt but by nature once I start one project I always finish it before going on to the next.  Feel like it will take longer to join the squares than it did to crochet them.

Me o me oh my what to do
I would love to build a quilt but cant co get the right yarn
So I was wondering can I use a magic ball?
has any one seen one even to use scraps?

[goldwinger]

findings cant you find a graph and use scraps
i'm doing 3'' squares from a graph maybe you could use up some of your stash that way

Patterns like " Grandma's Flower Garden" would be a great way to use up scraps. I haven't seen it in crochet but I know we crocheter's are a clever bunch! The hunt for the pattern is always fun!
