It’s the first of two assembly weeks for the Jen Kingwell’s Gypsy Wife Quilt Sew-along. This week you’ll be assembling sections 1 to 5. There’s not much I can give you in the way of cheats to make this part easier on you. All I can say is to take your time and follow the pattern. I will let you in on a secret though, I stuffed my my strips in two places so, you know, no one’s perfect. *wink* I uses these three blog posts to help get my head in the right space for the assembling: Needle Down, Splish Splash Stash and Jaffa Quilts.

Notes on Assembly

We’re not due to start on the construction of the quilt top until December 14 2017, but I’ve been working on it behind-the-scences to make sure that we’re able to troubleshoot any issues that may arise for people. I’ve updated the line drawing to reflect where there’s an error in the pattern and included more information about block sizes as well.

For those of you that are using this line diagram to help work out your strips I wanted to remind you that the small print on this diagram is that there’s been some changes to the strips. Please be mindful of this when it comes to assembly.

That’s everything… for now… as always if you have any questions either drop me a line or leave a comment below and I’ll do my best to help you out. I hope you love making this quilt as much as I have, it’s such a fun way to make a unique sampler.
