I did several a few years ago when McCall’s magazine was more to my liking. I haven’t done one recently. Your quilt reminds me of “Sew Many Strips” from American Patchwork and Quilting. I really love scrappy quilts and Civil War prints. Your quilt is beautiful.

I’ve found sometimes seeing the other participants progress helps me stay motivated to continue working on it.

Meadowland QAL
I do QAL when I am talked into them. I'm joining the Meadowland QAL next month because my longarmer is going to be featured as part of the Longarm League. And it will use up some of my stash, so that's a good thing!

I have done a couple of sew alongs and really enjoyed them. I like the ones that give us a block that I can do in a week and I know I can handle one block at a time. Your quilts are gorgeous and love your CW fabrics.

Is a QAL the same as a BOM?
The only BOM I ever did was a 52 blocks one and I got to 26 blocks and never got any further with it. Those blocks were only 6 1/2" so they turned into a table runner and the leftover fabric turned into a lap quilt.
Since that experience, I'm a little gunshy to do a BOM, although I guess that was a BOW.
