There are six unique blocks in the Loves Me, Loves Me Not pattern. Each of the blocks was inspired by Florence and her friends in Frances’s latest novel Friendship Album: Forget-Me-Not. We will be sewing the blocks in the order they are listed in the pattern.
The quilt-along will kick off on Monday, January 30 and run until mid-May. We’ve scheduled some catch-up weeks along the way along with several chances to win sponsor prizes. Here is an overview of our schedule:
- January 30 – Fabric cutting

Each Monday, I’ll be sharing a bit about the block inspiration (no spoilers on the story!) and some tips for that week’s block.
Getting ready to shop your stash or visit your local quilt store? Check out the fabric requirements. One of our sponsors, String & Story has kits available for the throw-sized quilt in two different colorways! One colorway mimics the coloring in our quilt while the other uses the color blackberry as the background for a really unique look.
Download a copy of the pattern before midnight EST January 30 for a chance to win a prize in the first sponsor giveaway for the quilt-along! Two winners will be randomly chosen from those meeting the eligibility guidelines below. One winner will receive a Felt Pressing Mat from Oliso. (This prize can only be shipped to US or Canada addresses.) One winner will receive two Quilt Fiction novels. (Physical copies will be shipped to US addresses and digital copies will be available otherwise.)
