This one was inspired by Sandy Klop's own quilt design. We changed it slightly to use the fabric that we still had available so that we could make kits for the shop. For some reason we had a lot of the black prints left so we incorporated those. I love how they look - kind of a classic black-board feeling.
Speaking of Sandy Klop, I am going to a quilting retreat in March where she will be teaching a class. When I found out she was going to be there, I may have squealed like a 14-year-old girl who found out she was going to meet Justin Bieber. And I'm not really a squeally-type of girl.
POST EDIT: (Sorry, should have added this originally.) These kits will be available at American Quilting in Orem, UT by Tuesday, January 18. For details you can contact the shop at 801-802-7841.

So jealous about your quilt retreat! By any chance, is this a kit?
The Tulip Patch says
I am a groupie too...she is BY FAR my fave. I was lucky enough to pick up 47 fat quarters at the quilt festival in Houston this year and I was in heaven...only one of the booths had a ton of stuff and she even had the really hard to find prints like pez for 2.25/fq. I've done a Wee Play, Happy Campers, and then of course sprinkled it in everywhere I can. I can't wait to get enough time

Gorgeous! I bought this quilt kit from Sandy's website last week and am patiently waiting for it to arrive. It comes in the sweetest little tin. I am going to make this as a wall hanging for my little Gus' room. I love your version. Super jealous about the retreat!

How cute, Amy! And I think I have some similar fabrics around here - Now I'm going to have to dig them up!!

I love how well the black frames everything - just like you said - like a classic blackboard!
Kim says
This is just adorable! I went right out and bought myself the panel and some fabric to try and make one. I like the black borders too, I think you picked the perfect print!
Kim says
I forgot to ask...would you mind saying how wide the border frames are around the alphabet blocks? Thanks!

Caty says
This quilt is absolutely gorgeous! I just love seeing the things you come up with! Thank you so much for sharing all your creations!! 🙂
Melissa says
Thanks for the inspiration! I got one repeat of this from Michael Levine's in LA last summer, and I got home to realize that they had cut it wrong!! So instead of having one panel gping A->B->C->D->E->F, I have one panel that goes B->C->A->E->F->D! Ugh. <br />I knew I had to cut it up, but I was thinking of making bean bags...but I like this idea much more. :o)
Bonnie says
This quilt is SO cute, and I just love the black boarder.
amy smart says
So glad you liked the quilt! @Kim - I'd be happy to share the pattern measurements. Shoot me an email and I'd be happy to share. That goes for anyone else too!

Alan Smith says
Hello from AUSTRALIA!!!!
By any chance are the quilt blocks that make up the vintage alphabet quilt you made still available online, or somewhere? I'd love to make a quilt for my granddaughter with that pattern!!!
Amy Smart says
Hello! Darn - I made this quilt back in 2011 so, sadly, it's probably difficult to find this particular fabric at this point. Sorry.😔
