Count Down To Christmas SAL

I was able to finish my March and April blocks this weekend!  YAY! 

 I had previously shown block 6 so here are 7, 8, and 9.

This block was so cool!  I would love to make more of this for a quilt someday.  

I was not overly thrilled how she had you make the flying geese (actually it was the trimming part).  

I think I need a goose trimming ruler, maybe that would have made it better. 

I LOVE this block!

I was staying with one line but when I found this HO HO HO fabric...

I have never done a house block but like how this one turned out.  

It was a little challenging to get the sweater things to line up and 

they aren't perfect but turned out pretty well.

I'n not sure I would like to see that bear when I open my door for real though!

So if you are participating I am going to do a link up.  You can link up your March and April blocks.

February CTC Sew-A-Long Link-up

Are you working on your Countdown to Christmas blocks?  Did you manage to sew any this month?  I have managed to finish blocks 1-6.  Blocks 4-6 this month.

This is block number 4

Block number 5

Block number 6

I have created a link up below.

If you have finished any blocks this month please link up!

I will leave the link open through Thursday (the last day of the month).

Please share and if you do link up be sure to use a link to this post.

I would love to spread the idea and get more folks to join us.

Inlinkz Link Party

Want to Join Me?

I discovered the Countdown To Christmas BOM on the Moda Bake Shop too late for 2018.

I love the idea and loved the blocks so I approached some friends to see if they would be interested to do this with me by making 2-3 blocks per month. 

We could have our quilt done by Christmas 2019.  

They said YES!  

So we are choosing fabric and starting to make our blocks.  

You can find the blocks on the Moda Bake Shop website.  

You can find the start of the blocks here.  

I am making mine in aquas and whites.  

Here are the first two blocks.  

You can find block one here.

I did not have any trouble with this block.  It was pretty straight forward.

You can find block 2 here.  This block was a little challenging.  There are Y seams involved.

We are using the #mamasparkCTCsewalong on social media, if you want to post your blocks.

I would LOVE to have you join in the fun!

There are 6" and 12" blocks in the patterns.

I am making the 12" blocks for now.

I will probably want to add a few more to make the quilt larger.

There was a CDTC 2017 that has some cute blocks so I may be adding some of those too.

I hope you can join us. 

Wouldn't it be fun to have a quilt for yourself or a friend by Christmas this year?

If you sew along with us you should be able to do that!

I will set up a link up and you can post your blocks in that next month.
