I was thrilled to be asked to join Aylin from Aylin-Nilya and Amy from During Quiet Time for the {Big} City Girl quilt along! Every Sunday from September 1, a different blogger from a different country will be sharing a tutorial to make a quilt block inspired by a big city in their country! I will of course be doing a Tokyo block, and the other cities include Sydney, Boston, Marrakech, Berlin, Warsaw, London, and Paris! The list of exotic bloggers featuring their big cities are:
Alyce – Blossom Heart Quilts from Japan
Amy – Badskirt from Australia
Amy- During Quiet Time from USA
Annabella – Kech Quilts from Morocco
Aylin – Aylin-Nilya from Germany
Felicity – Felicity Quilts from Canada
Julianna – Sewing Under Rainbow from Poland
Karen – Blueberry Park from UK
Lotje – Lotje M from The Netherlands
Marit – Sy-elsk-lev from Norway
Rachel – Wooden Spoon from New Zealand
Sil – Silort from Brazil
Sylvie – Vivie from France
You can join in by making the designers’ blocks or by designing your own inspired by your own Big City! Every three weeks there will be a linky party to share your blocks, and some fabulous prizes thanks to the QAL sponsors:
So grab the button and start thinking about your Cities. Come and join our Flickr group and show us your fabric choices, inspirations, blocks and pattern! Now I had better hurry up and decide whether to do a traditional pagoda or the world’s tallest tower, the Tokyo Skytree!

What a fabulous idea Alyce ……….looking forward to it ………Marie
Alyce says
It’s such a fun, different idea! An honour to be involved 🙂
Olivia says
Do I need to follow each blog to get the block tutorials or will they be posted in one location?
Alyce says
We will each be posting on our own blogs, but I’m sure Aylin-Nilya will be sharing each tutorial as it’s posted!
DeborahGun says
Such a great idea – already thinking of how to portray Jakarta! Maybe an endless traffic jam!
Alyce says
Haha, that would be awesome!!
