Week 1 Patterns

March 1, 2025

Hello and welcome to the Fantasy & Fae Bookcase Quilt Along! Thank you for participating. The first week of the quilt along features several patterns that are rated as a 1 on the difficulty scale; perfect for beginners! 

​

Please check out the new Nerdy Quilter YouTube Channel for walkthrough videos for several of the patterns.

This will be my second every quilt along and my very first time trying to make How-To videos. I would love to hear from you; do you like them? Do you want something different? Please let me know! 

​

We are going to start off the Fantasy & Fae Bookcase with some simple blocks. The Book Spines and Ruby both have Tutorials on YouTube to follow along with. If you're a beginner, you should be able to make all of the other Week 1 blocks (if you want) after you've learned the general technique through the YouTube blocks. 

​

Use #FantasyFaeQuiltAlong to share your WIPs or finished blocks! Let's make a community that's focused on Quilting AND Fae!

Week 2 Patterns

March 7, 2025

Welcome back to Week 2 of the Fantasy & Fae Bookcase Quilt Along! This week we'll be building on the fundamentals learned in Week 1 and adding some fun new themed blocks. I wanted to add one of the Illyrian Bat Wing Bookends as quickly as possible. Note: there are TWO different versions of the Illyrian wing, a more simplified version (shown in Gray below) and a more detailed version. Truth Teller is also avaible in two different orientations, leaning right and leaning left. 

 

Two blocks will have detailed walk-through instructions available on YouTube: Glass Castle and Fourth Wing Badge. Share your creations using #FantasyFaeQuiltAlong and join the Facebook Group HERE!
