Jaybird Quilts Sew Along

 

jaybirdlogo1

 

Today is the kick-off of the Jaybird Quilts Sew Along! I am a huge fan of Jaybird Quilts patterns, and I have a rather large collection of them in my stash. So when trying to decide on a fun sew along for my readers for spring, this one was a no-brainer.

This sew along will roll out in two phases; in Phase 1, I will be introducing you to a Jaybird quilt created by my talented group of guest bloggers! You can check my blog every weekday from April 21st through May 13th, where you will find a new guest post every day highlighting the quilts they’ve made and reviewing the patterns.
