Alternate Routes Sew Along Reveal

ar1
Today was the big reveal for our Alternate Routes Sew Along at Up North Quilt Shop in International Falls, MN.  We used our Alternate Routes Highway 10 Designs pattern which can be purchased from our Etsy shop as either paper or PDF download.   If your interested in doing this project as a group, either as a Mystery or a Sew Along,  we do offer month by month instructions for a fee.  Please feel free to contact us at highway10designs@mymts.net for more information. 


I loved seeing all the different colourways and layouts that the quilter chose for their projects.  The pattern includes 20 different options for the layout but there are so many more options that could be used.

Diana added an extra pieced border using the smallest elements in the pattern and it looks fantastic!  Guess she didn’t get enough of all those tiny pieces!

This next one is Diane’s and she plans to add a few borders to make it larger.

The last one is Missy’s, the shop owner, and she used two different blue Primitive Gatherings fabrics on hers.  You can’t tell from a distance but when you get up close you see they are two different fabrics.  Great idea!

Thank you Missy for hosting this Sew Along, we really appreciate your support of our Highway 10 Designs patterns.
