SCHEDULE

We have a very laid back schedule for this QAL. While you can easily get this quilt top made in a weekend, we have all of the steps spread out over 4 weeks. Notice that we are jumping right into Cutting our Fabrics for Week 1, so you'll want to have everything ready to go on January 27th!

Week 1 - January 27: Cutting
Week 2 - February 3: Strip Piecing
Week 3 - February 10: Creating Rows
Week 4 - February 17: Quilt Top Assembly

CHOOSING COLORS & FABRIC REQUIREMENTS

Upscale Plaid uses color to create the illusion that the stripes blend where they intersect and color choices are key in creating this effect. Find helpful tips for choosing colors along with fabric requirements here.
