Ooooh, what an exciting day! Remember those super secret Belle patterns I was working on last month? They’ve arrived! Well, at least the first one has. I’m so thrilled to be hosting a new mystery quilt-along over on Craftsy! Woohoo! If you’re looking to dive into a summery, color-soaked quilt, I do hope you’ll join me!
So, what are the details?! Well, here’s the scoop:
- First off, materials are included! Yup, there’s a stack of over 5 yards of gorgeous Amy Butler fabric just waiting for you!
- The quilt-along starts August 1st, and if you sign up now, you’ll receive your materials lickity split. Then when the quilt-along starts, you’ll get a reminder email letting you know it’s begun, so we can make it together!
- The quilt is 60″ X 83″ and is a beginner-intermediate skill level (no paper piecing- I promise!).
- Includes step-by-step photos and diagrams, AND the same wonderful interactive experience you had in the Craftsy Block of the Month- ask questions, get tips…I’ll be right there with you.
Oh I do hope you’ll join in! I just adore the Craftsy community, and I think this quilt-along is a fun way to jump start some relaxed late summer sewing and get a pretty quilt made , but nothing fussy or stressful- just the way I like it!
Wishing you a fabulous week!

—UPDATE— The kits for the workshop have sold out, but you can still sign up to participate HERE. Also, please check out THIS post with more details that help clarify exactly what this workshop is all about. cheers! xo
so disappointed :( wish they had it available for people not in the US or Canada, even if it was just the class with no fabric :(
I too received my fabric today, but can’t find the class anywhere. I hope I didn’t do something wrong!!! I so want to do the Quilt Along!!!
The class will be posted August 1st. Kinda like the other ones except she said the entire year would available at once on this one. I really like that feature.
Hi Amy, I would like to join, but it’s only for US and Canada residents… and I live in Europe, Brussels…. Any possibility to change the rule ?
Thanks.
Ornella
Hi Ornella! The workshop will be available without the fabric (so no shipping restrictions) starting Aug 1, and I will post a reminder then. Hope you’ll join in! :)
Eeeek!!!! I am so excited! I just placed my order! Now I really have fabric coming out of my ears….I spent over $100 on a family trip last week…yikes. I hope my hubby doesn’t divorce me! LOL
Can’t wait! I guess my sewing machine will be coming on our family trip… Well maybe
Andrea
Amy, do you know if some backing fabric will be available? (It’s not included, right?) Sounds like fun…
How is a quilt along-different from a bom? How long will it take to have all the lessons?
Great questions- this quilt is not a sampler, or a series, so you can complete it as slowly or quickly as you like. The full pattern will be available from the very start, and folks can just ask questions, post pics, etc, as with all Craftsy classes and workshops. For those who sign up now, the Belle fabric is included, and those who want to use their own fabric can sign up Aug 1. Hope this helps clear up confusion!
Signed up this morning!! Can’t wait!! This is going to be awesome!! Which line of Belle is it? I went to look it up at Amy Butler and there are 3 choices there!
Am I correct in assuming that we are responsible for the backing fabric?
Will the instructions and pictures continue to be available on line forever as with the regular classes we purchase from Craftsy?
By the way, your 2012 BOM class was my first effort into quilting and I loved it!
That sounds like it’ll be fun. Color me weird, but I’m not a big Amy Butler fan. I’m more Tanya Whelan and Lakehouse inclined. ;-) But, more than that, we will be in the throes of planning a big project – Lord willing, 4 weeks in Australia with my parents along for the trip – so I’m not thinking August will be a good month for extra projects. LOL :-) Hope you have a great time doing that one though! :-)
Like others, I’m not in the US/Canada, so I’ll be on the lookout for the workshop on its own. Xx
I am a little confused, will there be any video of you demonstrating the quiltor is it all still photos and text? And will it be available forever like our other Craftsy classes?
Hi Amy!!! I’m so happy for you and so excited to join the crew! I saw today morning an email from Craftsy with the news, then I immediately started to write a post about that. I’m gonna post this week.I’m hosting another quilt along, but I just can’t say no for this one! Very nice, really!
I’m in!!! Woo Hoo!! Your Craftsy BOM was my first real attempt @ a quilt. Despite moving 3 times selling our home of 23 years, an Estate Sale, building a condo, stuff in storage for 5 months, the constant was working on your BOM quilt whenever I could. I named it Metamorphosis, for it was such a transitional year. Thank you for giving this late to quilting, old woman such inspiration. I’m so looking forward to this once summer begins the wind down and we batten down the hatches for winter.
SQUUEEE!!!!!! I just signed up for the quilt along and I am ready to begin ASAP! Can’t wait to get the fabric –loves me some Amy Butler. You are the best teacher Amy and I almost scared my husband when I burst out with my happy dance when I saw you were doing another class!!
I was so excited to see your post on facebook about the workshop, especially since I recently commented I hope you’d do another BOM with Craftsy next year (I still do!). Your patterns and instructions have been so wonderful, I really look forward to this! Also, I’d been waffling about whether to buy the Belle fabrics, since I really want to splurge on the Simply Style fabrics… this was the perfect answer! Excited for August 1st!
Pity it is only available to US and Canada. Maybe next time there will be one for the whole wide world :) Good luck with this exciting project
Great news as I love your QAL !!! But soooooo disappointed you don’t ship the kit outside the US …. Guest I only have to move to America !!!!!! Anyone looking to adopt a French quilter by any chance ????!
SIgned up yesterday. Congratulations AMY as this looks like a fantastic opportunity for you and all of us quilters…………i look forward to it. Best wishes…
So sad i can’t get the materials as i live in the UK :(
but will join on Aug 1st to join in the fun :)
x
If I buy 1 for a gift how will they see the patterns? Thanks,Wanda
Thanks Amy. I ordered yesterday and it has already shipped. I am so excited.
I guess my only question about this is, is Craftsy shipping Belle fabric with the signup. They are notorious for sending out something different than what is described and it doesn’t actually say in there that Belle fabric will be shipped, it says inspired by Belle fabric. I’d love to sign up if it’s with Belle fabric guaranteed.
The tracking receipt I received from Craftsy for this class looks like this: 1x Custom Craftsy Quilt Top Kit (Amy Butler Belle)- so I’d say it’s safe to assume they are shipping Amy Butler Belle fabric.
When I click the link to join. I get a message. “sorry product no longer available…” Does this mean it’s sold out on the fabric and we have to wait until August 1 to join with own fabric?
I got the same message.:(
Okay okay. I’m in too. I need another project like I need … ;-)
Oh no! :( It’s sold out! Will they restock, or was that it?
Oh oh oh, I am there!, so enjoy your classes and hearing your voice. So excited for this one.
Is it really not available anymore?
Hi Amy, I went to sign up for the class and it says that it is no longer available. My goodness, I only received the email 2 days ago. Oh well :(
Is it no longer available? That happened once before with the Block of the Month and then they got the fabric back in. I really want to do this one..
I got my e-mail today and they are already sold out!
I too tried to sign up and its no longer available. Lordy that was fast.
I guess I wasn’t supposed to do it!
I think you can still sign up on August first, but they may be sold out on the fabric and class option.
I really think that Craftsy should make sure that they have enough fabric for this type of class. It is very frustrating when a class is advertised and 2 days later it is not available anymore. I had my hopes up.
I really wanted to sign up for this class, but find that thereisn’t any more fabric. I hope that there will be some more in time to sign up before Aug 1.
I also tried to sign up, but the Craftsy site says it’s no longer available?
Sad! I tried to buy the fabric but its no longer available!
Will craftsy restock the fabric? I had planned to enroll in the class and found out the product is no longer available. If there isn’t any plans to restock the fabric I will look forward to the August 1 date like the quilters outside of the U.S.
My craftsy order states 2 layer cakes are being sent. Perhaps you could find 2 somewhere else?
Hi Amy! I’m amazed how it was fast! I posted in my blog about the quilt along, but after checking with Craftsy they told me they are completely sold out of Belle fabric. I think a lot of people want to join. But, if people can join with their own fabric it will be fun anyway!
I too wanted to join and found out today that it is sold out? Hopefully they will restock and open it back up!
Amy, I am having a hard time enrolling the Quilt Along class. I keep getting a message that it is no longer available. Can you help? Thanks
I am also getting the “no longer available” when I try to order. Do you know what is happening? I’d love to get the material and take the class!
Sorry – last comment was “Deborah” – not “D”
Just read the other posts (a little late, sorry!) May we take the class but purchase our own material? What is the cost and how do we sign up? I do not “think” these questions have been answered here – if they were and I missed it, please advise.
Amy – I guess this just shows you how much we all enjoy your classes!!
It is strange that craftsy won’t let us at least enroll to the class even without the materials. I didn’t know they had classes that were one class/material bundle like that. Surely it will open up again when August starts. And maybe by that time they will have more fabric in stock. I really love the new belle line and would like to use it also.
If anything, I’m pretty sure that Amy said on Facebook that we can sign up just for the QAL Workshop on August 1st without the materials and just use our own. I also got the no longer available alert when I went to sign up a little while ago.
For those that are looking for the Belle fabric by Amy Butler, I found some @ The Intrepid Thread website.
http://www.intrepidthread.com/shop/Fat-Quarter-Bundles/p/Belle-Fat-Quarter-Bundle-By-Amy-Butler-x1007011.htm
They have a 24 print fat quarter bundle for $60.00. Just copy and paste the above link into your browser and it should come up. Good luck.
Ooooh, I found some fat quarter bundles, 12 prints in 2 different colorways at the Fat Quarter shop website. Each 12 print bundle is $34.99+ shipping.

I hope this is helpful for those that have their heart set on reproducing this quilt in Belle fabric like Amy Gibson will be doing in the class.
I just enrolled in the class (at 25% off) and am going to use my own fabrics. How much fabric should I plan on in fat quarters or yardage? I saw 2 layer cakes mentioned somewhere on this topic.
Thanks Debbie
Is it August 1st yet? Just excited.
I got my fabric yesterday. Just in the nick of time. I’m hoping this is what it takes to get me back into sewing. I’ve lost my mojo somewhere along the way.
I agree!!! I am so excited!!! I’ve been rushing through a project, just so my machine will be empty on the 1st!
I received my Amy butler fabrics, but I didn’t see the reminder of the quilt along, and today is August 1st I went on your site to start but it says I have to pay $11.00.I thought I already purchased the course along with my material?? Will I still be able to see the quilt along??
Amy, I did sign and received an confirmation on payment for the sew along class, (no kit) however, I not able to find the class anywhere. Am I doing something wrong?
Can people still sign up for the class? I don’t see it listed in the Craftsy site.
Amy:
I just finished this fabulous quilt top. Can you tell me the mfg and color of the white fabric. I can’t find it anywhere.
Thanks so much,
Michelle
