When the going gets tough, the tough get sewing!
During the
shelter-at-home days of Covid -19, we sewed together from all over the world,
making one round a week to complete this quilt in UNITY. This Pictorial
Tutorial is more than just a pattern.
It’s a full 8 week 37 page course in PDF format.
You can now find the PDF booklet for Unity under under the Digital Patterns section of the Quiltville Store.

ReplyDeleteThank you Bonnie all printed and waiting in anticipation for the next part xx
ReplyDeleteDay 1 of Unity Quilt Along, up to page 5. Making Monkey Wrench blocks with 1/2 sq triangle cut offs.
ReplyDeleteI am relatively new to quilting and am going to give this Unity Quilt a shot. Should I cut down all the fabric into 2 1/2 inch strips first? Or only cut a few at a time?
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea, I recommend cutting as you go since you may not need 2.5 inch strips for all of the rounds. Hope that helps. Welcome to the beautiful world of quiltmaking!
DeleteThank you for providing this opportunity which will help us all keep our spirits up. Directions were fabulous, I'm ready for week 2 :) Thanks again, stay healthy.
ReplyDeletePart one finished!! Mine won't be as scrappy/busy as some. :)
ReplyDeletethanks Bonnie- I lost track and have been sewing for hospitals etc and embroidery..but I missed you sew much! Now I found you thanks to a USA friend!Marietta in Brisbane Australia
ReplyDeleteSo happy that I chose to dip into my precious Christmas metallics.
ReplyDeleteAll done part 2 and looking forward to part 3
ReplyDeleteBonnie,
ReplyDeleteIn Part 3 Can I make the star blocks as leaders & enders? I noticed you made sets of all the pieces needed for each star block. Does that mean you made each block individually rather than making all the flying geese units first? Do you think it would make any difference which way I make them? Thank you.

Hi, this is my first mystery quilt with you and I am really enjoying it. I'm getting ready to start part 3 and had a question. I would like to use my cutting machine to cut out my base and wing triangles. Would you be able to tell me the height and width of those units please? Thank you, Darra
ReplyDeleteFolks, I love your work and pictures. I'm taking some ideas from your work.
ReplyDeleteI had a young dog that used to upchuck in the car. I started taking her a short distance to a place that she liked repeatedly and play and she got the point she was ok, even on long distances.....
ReplyDeleteThank you, I love your scrappy quilts!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I love this quilt!! Heaven knows when it will get done but that is the way my quilting goes!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for doing this Quilt Along it has been wonderful. Bonnie you have helped a lot to get through this virus, with something to look forward to every Monday. Your the best!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Bonnie. Eagerly awaiting each new part has lessened the frustration and boredom the Covid-19 crap has brought to our lives. Sorry for being so blunt but I'm so tired of it all. Our Unity tops will all be so beautiful. It was so considerate of you to design this and share with us. You are one-in-a-million!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful. I am very jealous that you can not only design a quilt. But you pick perfect colors and your quilting is amazing. You are so lucky to be so talented.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the quilt along I can't wait to start it - I broke my arm so I have to wait awhile but I am happy that I save all the tutorials.

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Bonnie! I just downloaded the Unity tutorials. Unity is on the list for this year. Thank you for all the work and planning you did to make this available to all of us. Especially know that I appreciate that you made this free for so long. On another note, my heart was broken for you when I heard of your animals passing. Really hope you know that we all love you dearly. God bless and keep you...Christy Miller
I wonder how many total pieces in this quilt. I would count, but mine is at the quilters. I can't wait to get it back! Thanks so much for the much needed distraction from the world.
ReplyDeleteThanks for share!!
