[TQC] Archive projects no longer have kits available

you aware of the project available and hopefully

bring you a little Christmas cheer.

Countdown To Christmas

Are you ready to put all those little pieces together.

If you missed anything you can find all the details here

Use the photos and the diagram below to layout your quilt top. 

It is a little tricky to follow the pattern but once 

you get started it will all fall into place.

Quilt as desired, bind and sit back and enjoy the holidays

Countdown to Christmas

We are just a few days away from the end of this project.

Using a few of your star blocks, 4 patches and light
squares make one block like this. 

Countdown to Christmas

How are your stars coming out? Are you still with me?
I hope everyone is getting the hang of those little blocks.
If you are making one a day you should have 18 blocks,
you will need a total of 24 blocks.

From your lights you will need to cut 156 - 2-1/2" squares.

If you have your 4 patches done you can use some of
your 2-1/2" light squares and make 56 blocks like this.

Countdown to Christmas

 Using your 1-1/2" light solid and dark print strips and
your favorite technique make 140 - 4 patches.

Countdown to Christmas

Lets get started.

First you will need to make 24 - 2" stars. Use this tutorial to

make one each day for 24 days. That will put us 1 month

from Christmas Eve. Yikes! Along the way I will give you additional

information for different parts of the quilt, that way we can have

this project all wrapped up in time for Christmas.

 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

Draw Diagonal lines on the wrong side of 4 dark 1-3/8" squares

Place 2 dark squares on light 2-1/4" square.

Sew 1/4" on each side of line.

Cut on line, press points out.

Place a dark square on each unit and sew 1/4" on each side of line.

Cut on line, press points out. Trim little tails off.

Layout and piece together 2" star - repeat to make 24 stars.
