Vice-Veras Quilt Along - Week 1

 It's week 1 of the Vice-Versa Table Top Quilt Along hosted by my friends at Fat Quarter Shop!!!  And you know, I couldn't just make a table topper . . .  So I am using the  Vice-Versa Table Topper Kit  as well as the Vice-Versa Table Runner Kit  and will be making 2 projects ;)    First off, was cutting!!!  And you all know how I like to change things up . . . so I decided to make my Vice-Versa Table Topper into a Vice-Versa Baby Quilt ;)   So basically, I am using the charm squares as is to make the project finish at 36" square.  So the only cutting I needed to do for that was the binding :)   For the Vice-Versa Table Runner Kit there was quite a lot of cutting, but it went quick enough. 


And I jumped right in with the first steps for the piecing!!!  So with the  Vice-Versa Table Topper kit, I stitched my Stitch and Flip seams down the center of the 5" squares, and then added a bonus Seam 1/2" so that I could get some bonus HST's  (which I could totally make a table topper from, so fun!!)  


For the Vice-Versa Table Runner  I started to piece all of the No Waste Flying Geese.  This is my favorite way to make Flying Geese so I am super excited the pattern was written for this technique.   I have all my little geese ready to be cut in half so I can move on to the next step 2 of No Waste Flying Geese.  So much fun!!!   And while cutting this all out, I realized, I don't have a lot of need for a Table Runner, but I so need a lot of baby quilts . . . so I am pretty sure my Vice-Versa Table Runner Kit is also going to finish as a 5 x 5 block Vice Versa Baby Quilt, with 2 extra blocks for the backing :)  


So do you want to join in this Quilt Along fun??  It's the perfect time to join in :)  Grab your Vice-Versa Pattern (which is 3 patterns in one book, great deal!!)  and let's get making our first finishes of 2026!!! 

Looking forward to working on this throughout the week and sharing more of my progress next Monday!! 

Happy Quilting!

  1. If you make your HST’s the traditional way from the 5” squares, each pair yields two 4-1/2” HST’s. The full squares will have to be cut down to 4-1/2” so they fit. So won’t your finished quilt measure 32 x 32?

  2. I am making the HST's as Stitch and Flip Units with the Charm Pack, so they will finish with one 5" HST and the bonus one will finish at 3 1/2" :)
