DECO Summer Sewalong 2026 - Details!
JOIN US FOR A DECO SUMMER SEW-ALONG!
If you've been wanting to make your own Deco Glam or Deco Diamonds quilt, I have a ton of resources and tips for you! I will be sharing new blog posts for Deco Diamonds, and I'll have last year's blog posts for Deco Glam available as well.
Our sew-along is wrapping up, but the blog posts will stay up! You can keep sewing at your own pace and you won't miss any important tips.
HOW DOES IT WORK? We'll sew a different section of the pattern each week, with a few more tips and tricks on this blog. By the end of each week, you are welcome to post your progress on Instagram, and cheer each other on!
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
PATTERN: You can buy the "Deco Glam" or "Deco Diamonds" pattern on Etsy ! (If you're in the US, you can also buy it on my website)
KITS (US): Search for "Deco" and you'll see what's available. Sewfinity has kits in KONA and Riley Blake fabric and Pear Tree Market has kits in Moda Bella Solids.
KITS (Germany): Quiltzauberei has kits in KONA fabrics and Floyd The Fox has kits in AGF fabrics (in cover colors AND in some fun new colorways!)
YOUR OWN FABRIC COMBO: If you want to make your own color combo, you can play on PreQuilt to make your own colorway!
Other supplies you may need are:
- 12" Add-A-Quarter Ruler: Makes FPP so much quicker and seam allowances more consistent
- Your favorite FPP paper - A Throw size quilt uses 72 pieces of paper for templates, so I use a ream of letter sized
Pacon white newspaper. Regular printer paper works as well,
but it is harder to remove at the end.
- Seam presser - I use Clover Roll & Press (I like it because I don't have to have a hot iron next to me when I'm sewing FPP!)
- Batting - I highly recommend a black batting for quilts that have a black background fabric. For quilts with a medium to light background fabric, a natural or white batting is fine!
- A cutting mat that's at least 8" x 24" (bonus points if it fits next to your machine for FPP)
- 50wt thread that matches your background fabric or a neutral grey/dark grey thread works as well.
P.S.: I want to see your creations! If you're making a Deco Glam or Deco Diamonds quilt, please share on Instagram or Facebook and tag me @GingerlyQuiltCo, so I can see it and cheer you on!
