Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month creative journey with Becky Goldsmith as we bring you "Sizzle," a stunning quilt designed especially for TQS.

Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. Becky has also created a selection of "how-to" videos to guide you along the way.

Let's use this Topic "Sizzle Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful Sizzle Blocks. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.
The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.
AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

Yes, they are--Becky wrote the General Instructions as she made the Warm quilt. There was no reason to re-do them just to change the photos.

I have downloaded the general instructions for the warm Sizzle and the instructions for the cool Sizzle as I haven't quite decided which way I am going to go yet. They are identical. Is this supposed to be?

Newsprint sometimes curls, too. When it does, it often helps to reduce the temperature of your iron. I haven’t tried that with vellum, but it might be worth a try.

This was my practice piece. I may continue with this colorway as I love how it came out. It’s what I have in my stash so more will have to be purchased. I still have to assemble the parts but I did if all today on my Featherweight.

Yes, it curls more than newsprint BUT you can see through it which is helpful. Be sure there is no water in your iron. I found the glue stick really helps keep the fabric flat. I quickly got used to the vellum and the curling was not really a problem.

Is anyone else having trouble with the vellum "curling" after the seams are pressed?
