Let's Begin the 2022 A'maze'd Quilt Along

 

Welcome to the 2022 A’maze’d Quilt Along! 

While this quilt is made up entirely of one block with only 3 types of units in that block, you choose the size, the fabrics you want (or buy a kit!) and the setting which is limited only by your imagination! Many of the setting options look like a MAZE so you will be able to design your own!

We will share the step by step instructions, tutorials, hints and tips for accuracy, as well as the design options and organizational tools to make this project a fun adventure. Whether you dive into your stash for inspiration, raid your scrap bin, or select a whole new fabric palette, this quilt will provide so many opportunities for creative play along the way.
