Countdown to Christmas

Are you ready for another Sew Along. 
You will need to trust me on this one. 
It will be a bit of a secret at first. 
This is the color palette I am using. Reds, tans and creams.
 Here are your cutting instructions:
You will need to cut 24 sets like this.
1 light 2-1/4" square
4 light 1" squares
1 dark 1-1/2" square
4 dark 1-3/8" squares
You will need to cut a pile of 1-1/2" light solid and dark print strips
You will need to cut 156 - 2-1/2" light print squares
- - - - - - - - - - 
These are the cutting instructions to get started. 
Starting November 1st I will post the tutorial for 
the cute little 2" blocks we will be making.
Can you guess what they will be?

  8. I was thinking a square in a square but can't see how these two would then finish into a 2" square and they are both different sizes - so good mystery! Guess I will be cutting today!

  18. Well I am stuck I am thinking an Advent something
    Are the tans/creams and the red with prints
    All dark and light ?
    So for my sets (24)
    Some tan with cream?
    Some red with red and white ?
    Some reds with cream ?
    Some tans with red and cream ?

    The light print squares don't look very much lighter than the dark print strips

    So do I need to wait to get a feel for this before I cut?
    I am new to this ( can you tell) but game to play and learn love your blog

  21. I just LOVE the Midwinter Reds collection. Can you at least tell us the size of the quilt, so we can decide whether we want to double the amount of fabric we buy?
