Congratulations, everyone! We’ve made it to the end of the Bright Sky quilt along!
I have been quilting my butt off over the past week, but alas, I’m enjoying the process so much and doing more FMQ than I have ever done before on a project that it’s not yet finished! Because I want to take the time properly to do finish it well. But it will be done this week!
And fear not, your quilt does not need to be fully finished to be linked up. All you need is a finished quilt top and you’re good to go. Which means even if you haven’t started, being such a quick pattern to piece, you could even grab the pattern and get it done this week before the linky closes on Sunday!
The final weekly winner from the Instagram hashtag #pwtbrightskyqal is @sbsemom!

Thanks for hosting such a fun QAL – I had a blast making this quilt top, working with the awesomeness that is Gemma (of Pretty Bobbins) and then having a fun quilt photo shoot. Can’t wait for your next QAL! 🙂

Yippee! Thanks, Alyce! I am Sbsemom and I am so excited to win a t-shirt! Thanks, also, for your tip about the Hera marker – I had never even heard of it, but I have one on it’s way now!

THanks Alyce for including me in this QAL! I’m really enjoying finishing up my second Mini, hope I can be done by Sunday 😉 I’m even trying some FMQ (gasp!), stretching comfort zones and all.
