The Masses Have Spoken

First off, Wow!!!!  I am so excited with how many of you weighed in on which block you like for the upcoming Quilt-A-Long.   I can tell already, this is going to be an amazing Quilt-A-Long.  I am so excited!!  And sorry I did not get a chance to write back and thank each of you.  Things are a little crazy around here with the Holiday's but please know that I so appreciate you taking the time to throw in a vote ;)

So I tallied all of the blog comments, facebook comments , and individual emails and the clear favorite was . . .  Option 1!!!!   So there you have it . . . This will be the block we will be doing for the Star Light Star Bright Quilt-A-Long   (Do you like the name??)

I thought you might like to get an idea of what it will look like in fun prints so I took some favorite bundles from the last QAL and threw them into our Star Light Star Bright  design.  Here they are!!

Doesn't that just make you so excited.  Eeekkk, I just love them!!!   This is going to be so fun!!!

Now, just a quick note. . . . if you were one of the folks who wanted the Star from #4 in the center don't fret.  It is easily changed. Just cut your four center squares 1/2" larger and turn those four squares into HST's :) 

Or if you liked that pop of yellow . . . Just remember when we are making our flying geese with the big square print, to substitute your pop color fabric ;)

This is your Quilt . . . So please, please, please . . . Customize it any way you like.   I won't be showing instructions on these customizations.  I tried to figure how how I could, but it just got really confusing.  But please know that if you have any questions along the way, general or customize ones, just shoot me an email :)  I am happy to help in any way I can ;)  

So, what now??  Well, give me a few weeks to get together all of the nitty gritty.  I need to get measurements, (remember, there will be multiple size and layout options, including a one block options for those that want to QAL but are a little swamped ;)  fabric requirements, some great custom bundles (like the ones above but with new fabrics) , a button, and of course, lots of prizes!!!!

Expect to see a little teaser post come the beginning of January with a button and then a schedule post mid January that will include fabric requirements ;)  I am tentatively planning for the end of January to get started with cutting  ;)   

I am just so excited for another fabulous Quilt-A-Long and I am over the moon happy to see how much you all love the design.  I am pretty sure the Star Light Star Bright Quilt-A-Long is going to be the biggest QAL here at Happy Quilting to date!!!
