are you a Retro Flowers fan?
Are you? I am.
Although I made a mini version and two blocks for a quilting bee, I'm definitely not done with Christina Lane's beautiful Retro Flowers pattern. Many Curves Class graduates are dying to make this quilt, and they're ready. They're definitely ready!
Well my friends.... I have very good news! I recently got to know Megan, of City Stitches, who has teamed up with her friend Bianca, of Sweet Diesel Designs, to put together a quilt along for all of us Retro Flower fans! Whooot! Hey, I was thinking of cooking up the exact same thing, but they have already done it and done it well. These ladies have organization down pat. They've got a schedule and a button and prizes (sponsored by Fat Quarter Shop), and well... um... guest judges? Hey, that includes me!
Before I get you all confused, let me share the details straight from miss Megan herself:
The Retro Flowers quilt along is based on the Retro Flowers Pattern by Christina at The Sometimes Crafter. Participants MUST buy the pattern to quilt along. Megan and Bianca will not be giving templates or explicit pattern details. The pattern is only $10! You can also try your luck on winning the pattern, at The Sometimes Crafter tomorrow and also try to win the optional (but totally handy) Tabslot template set on Thursday at Jill's blog.
2 giveaways for a Jelly Roll of your choice!
3 grand prizes for a $75 gift certificate!
Guest
Judges for the Grand Prizes include Rachel (Stitched in Color), Nova (A
Cuppa and a Catch Up), and Christina (The Sometimes Crafter)

Well goodness, could you have any more questions? If you do, go ask Megan! Hehe. She's announcing the quilt-along on her blog today and she and Bianca are in charge. You can also pop over to the Flickr group, to join in and ask your questions there.
I'm going to be sewing along too! I haven't decided if I'm going to make a nice big quilt or use the blocks to make some other projects, but I'm definitely not going to even attempt to resist this one. Yay! Join in or just enjoy watching the show. Either way, happy sewing!
