Brick Road Sew Along Week 1: Supplies

 

Good Morning Everyone!

Welcome everyone to the Brick Road Sew Along by SunFlower Quilts sponsored by RJR Cotton Solid Supreme Fabrics!
I hope everyone is as excited as I am about the Brick Road Sew Along! Let's not wait any longer! Here is a photo of what the  quilt top looks like:

I haven't quilted mine yet, because I'm going to do a tutorial during week 6 for ya'll! Plus, I'm not sure how I want to quilt it yet, so if ya'll have any ideas or requests let me know!

 

Now this quilt shown above is for a lap size quilt about 63" X 78"  You can choose whatever fabrics you have in your stash but I highly recommend getting your hands on some RJR Cotton Supreme Solids, they are awesome!

 

 

Supply List:

Lap Size: 63" X 78"

15 FQ (Fat Quarters)

2 1/3 yard sashing/border & binding -I used the same fabric for all

OR (1 3/4 yards sashing/border & 5/8 yard binding)

4 yards backing

 

 

In case ya'll are wondering what fabrics I used, listed below are the RJR Cotton Supreme Solids that I used. I've listed them by number and name.  The pattern calls for 15 FQ but I wanted to showcase as many of the gorgeous RJR Cotton Supreme Solids  colors that I could so you'll see 30 different colors but you only need 15 FQ!!
