Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Holiday


What was your inspiration?

Three different people inspired me: my Daughter who recently started quilting, a Craftsy crafter with her basement full of supplies and quilts in progress who introduced me to this site, and the clear, helpful and fun presentation of the lessons by Amy.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Watch out for the reds! I pre-washed most of my fabrics but some of my scraps from projects of years gone by I did not and these ones ran in some spots. So please be sure to rinse the reds...I know I will from here on.

I think, out of all the hundreds of BOM 2012 quilts I've seen so far, this is my favourite - it's really lovely! Is it the snowy white background that does it, or is it the lovely reds and greens? I don't know - all I know is, it's gorgeous!

I love your color choices. They were perfect for this sampler quilt. My blocks are rather scrappy so I don't think it will look this good when I get around to finishing it.

I am just finishing my quilt block of the month and looking at your quilt. Nice job. Did you put 2 inch strips between the blocks?

Thanks to everyone! Perhaps I will use this quilt from after Thanksgiving to Valentine's Day. And thanks for the encouragement :))

This is just gorgeous I love the Christmas theme but I agree with mpac it is way to lovely to only use on the holidays. Great quilting too!

I had so much fun making this, my first quilt project (and largest) in about 10 years and my first time machine quilting (lots to learn here). Amy's class was very inspirational and thank you to the craftsy crafter who introduced me to this site!

Did you already know how to do the actual quilting, or do you recommend a Craftsy maching quilting class? Yours is a stunning quilt.

I joined the class just to see the techniques as I have too many ufo's to stat another one and I'm not a fan of smampler type quilts - your quilt has insoired me to have a go in using my huge chritmas stash -thankyou
