2022 AQS Paducah in Bloom Again Quilt Along

In 2020, we introduced you to the Paducah in Bloom Quilt Along. Flowers were our theme that year, and the excitement for this favorite spring show was growing.

Plans changed. The whole world's plans changed.

At that time, the future was uncertain. But as quilters, we worked hard, helped out, cared for one another, and looked forward to sewing together side by side. Quilting together.

So with great celebration, appreciation, and gratitude the American Quilter's Society presents our 2022 Paducah in Bloom Again Quilt Along. Like a beloved perennial returning in spring, we thought these flower inspired blocks from 2020 should bloom again.

We invite all of you to join in. For those who have already completed this project, please lead the way. Show off your blocks and inspire us with your quilts.

Let's once again, quilt together, remember together, and celebrate together.

Since some of you may have started this project previously, we thought it best to give you all the blocks at once so you can pick up where you left off. For those who haven't started this quilt, please feel free to move along at your own pace.
