Let’s Get Ready!

Please use this TOPIC to ask questions about GAME ON! as we get ready to begin.

Hello there.I purchased the solids kit and it will be here Monday. I’ve been following along the BOMs the past three years but this is the first time I’ll be actually participating. I’ve gotten my other Wips and boms to a manageable point and I think I can take this on.

How much FPP is involved?

thank you for hosting this.

Most of the quilt is FPP. I will talk about paper choices Monday November 10 on the LIVE broadcast noon central time

Hi Barbara! I’m serious considering joining in on this wonderful BOM. When will fabric requirements be available for those who want to do their own thing? I’m travelling on Friday with a friend 3 hours away to a wonderful shop in Belfast, ME, and was hoping to pick up some solids.

[Barbara B.]

They are expected to be up next week. The scrappy version uses a wide variety of various prints. I do know 3.25 yards of background fabric is required. You could use the color photo of the solid version to select some solids.

Thanks for the background amount. I have the photos saved of the fabric stack and the quilt, so will wing it as best I can.

I’ve only paper pieced once just to try it. If most of Game On FPP, would i be getting in over my head on this project?

[Barbara B.]

Not at all. You will learn a lot. My LIVE broadcast Monday November 10 will discuss paper options and the advantages of each. I will provide alternative options when appropriate too. Join us!

I purchased the BOM on 11/3 but when I checked on line the status is "order not complete" -- I have tried contacting TQS but have had no luck. Can you pass this along to someone who can assist me. Thx Barbara

[Barbara B.]

Solid or Print? Print kits aren’t expected to be available for a couple weeks.

You mentioned in your blog that you gave a class in Houston on time management for quilters. I could use a few pointers as I am having difficulty prioritizing which quilt to work on next, which quilt to finish, and how to store the "finish later" quilt blocks. Without asking for a full out course, and since I plan to start two new quilts in the next few months (in addition to the two I'm working on now), any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My blog tomorrow is a link to my tutorial, Top 3 Tips for Time Management for Quilters, just a bit of my hour long presentation on the topic.
