A Quilty Christmas Begins

I’m excited to be participating in the ’12 Days of Christmas’ Sampler Quilt Along! Twelve bloggers will each create a unique 12.5″ Christmas-themed block and prepare a tutorial to go along with it. The block instructions, available on each designers’ blog, will be spread over a 6-week period, giving you plenty of time to join in! If you decide to quilt along with us, at the end of the 6 weeks, you will have a completed Christmas quilt top!
If you are planning on joining, the quilt top will require 12 fat quarters, or 1 layer cake. You are also more than welcome to use various solid/holiday scraps! In addition to that, you will need approximately 1-1/2 yard of solid fabric for the sashing.

Here is the schedule for each of the 12 blocks:

Oct 25 – Julianna @ Projektownia Jednoiglec
Oct 27 – Sara @ Sew Sweetness
Nov 1 – Kaelin @ The Plaid Scottie
Nov 3 – Jennie @ Clover and Violet
Nov 8 – Elizabeth @ Don’t Call Me Betsy
Nov 10 – Riel @ The Q and the U
Nov 15 – Jennifer @ Ellison Lane Quilts
Nov 17 – Lindsay @ Lindsay Sews
Nov 22 – Jessica @ SewCraftyJess
Nov 23 – Sarah @ Fairy Face Designs
Nov 29 – Heather & Megan @ Quilt Story

And there’s also a ’12 Days of Christmas’ Sampler Quilt Along Flickr Group to join and show off your blocks.

To give you a hint for what my block is going to be, it’s designed from a saying that was always on our window ledge around the holidays. I had lots of fun interchanging the letters to say different words.
