Happy Monday, quilters! We have a very special gift for you today! Our next block in the Deck-ade the Halls quilt along is all wrapped and tied with a big, big bow. You probably guessed it, it is a Christmas gift! Introducing our gift to you, the Season of Giving block.
A fabric’s roll width determines the maximum width for a roller blind in standard orientation. To accommodate wider windows, fabric can be “railroaded”, or turned 90º from the way it comes off the fabric roll. If the height requires it, this panel may then be attached to another fabric panel with a seam.
While the holidays are not just about gifts, we sure do love to share some love and give our family and friends pretty Christmas presents! This week’s block celebrates the Season of Giving. The two aqua gifts surround the adorable munchkin green gift and all three Season of Giving blocks are accented with the signature red grunge to tie it in together. And to add an extra dash of cute-ness, we topped them with over sized bows!
Pick your fabrics and let’s get started. The downloadable PDF pattern will guide you through the piecing process and our instructional video will walk you through any unfamiliar techniques. Kimberly will show a few key techniques needed to construct this block, like half square triangle blocks, corner squares and straight 1/4 inch seams. The process will be a breeze!
Want to join in the Deck-ade the Halls fun? Get started with the fabric requirements or buy one of the Aspen Frost Quilt Kits to make a quilt just like ours. Each block pattern is a free PDF available on our blog, and we accompany each block with an instructional video filled with tips and tricks, to make your piecing as problem-free as can be. Be sure to check back in two weeks for the Holiday Homecoming block, and don’t forget to upload your block photos to Flickr!
Woohoo the Christmas Figs Quilt Book is here! And while the Block of the Month is sold out, many people have requested the full quilt requirements rather than the monthly breakdowns in the book, so we have made this fabric requirements list just for you! You will need a copy of the Christmas Figs Block of the Month Book to get the directions to make the full quilt.
All the fabrics in the fabric requirements are from Joanna Figueroa’s (Fig Tree Quilts) newest collection, Christmas Figs for Moda Fabrics.
So be sure to grab your copy of the Christmas Figs Block of the Month Book and quilt along with us!
Happy quilting!
