This is a new approach to a block-of-the-month quilt, in that the blocks are made using "Strip-It", which is a unique fabric design that features an assortment of 17 assorted prints across the width. One of the fantastic things about using this fabric is that many of the block components (such as the half-square triangle) aren't pieced, but rather, cut from the stripes.
I've had so much fun designing with this fabric and have recently been using paper pieces combined with Strip-It for some exciting new designs!
If you're interested in making this holiday quilt, check with your local quilt shop to see if they're offering this block-of-the-month program. The patterns and fabric will be arriving soon to a quilt shop near you!
Now, it's back to my machine. . . lots of projects to finish!
Until next time. . . Vicki
