Countdown to Christmas SAL March Blocks

Here are three more blocks for a Christmas quilt before Christmas! I have nine blocks so far by participating in Mama Spark's Countdown to Christmas Sew-Along. The blocks are from the Moda Bake-Shop website, and you can find them by going here. I am choosing blocks that appeal to me rather than doing each block listed. This month I chose Festival, Special Gift, and Christmas Logs. I am picking my blocks from the posts listed under Countdown to Christmas for December 2018 and am enjoying making a different block each time.

Festival

Special Gift

Christmas Logs

I made a mistake by not thoroughly reading the instructions for Christmas Logs. The directions are to trim the logs after each round, and I did not see those instructions! So this block finished at a full 3 inches larger than the other blocks. I will either use it as part of the backing, or it will become a pillow!

I'm linking this post to MamaSpark's Countdown to Christmas SAL.

  1. What fun patterns you’ve chosen, Linda! I’m intrigued by those center squares. What fabric is that?

    1. That is a Cotton + Steel fabric called Tinsel Cheers in Teal by Melody Miller. They are little holiday glasses. :)

  2. I love your blocks! What is the meaning of the glass in the center of the squares?

    1. Thank you Marti! I have fussy cut little holiday glasses for some of the centers. It is a Cotton + Steel fabric called Tinsel Cheers in Teal by Melody Miller.

  3. Those are such pretty blocks, Linda! Each one that I see as I scroll down is my favorite. I think a pillow out of the too large block is a great idea! It will go with your quilt!

    1. Thank you Diann. :) I guess I could also use it on the backing, but I like it too much to hide it back there!
