Last July, I joined my first quilt along. Thanks to Abbie at Sparkle On!,for the invitation and encouragement to join the I Wish You a Merry QAL. I learned quite a bit of different techniques with this quilt. As I made each block, I experienced a lot of special childhood memories of Christmas. I entitled this quilt, Traditional Christmas. Mom use to have different sets of Christmas decorations. My favorite was her traditional Christmas, which included many of the ornaments from my childhood.
There are two blocks that I chose to make instead of two from the QAL. The Christmas cocoa mug is from a block pattern in Block a Day by Lucinda Ganderton. The stocking block is one that I designed myself.

The center Christmas lights block is one of the QAL blocks.
Oh my goodness I love this quilt and I love how you use the extra block in the back that’s brilliant 🙂
Thanks. When I was binding the quilt , I was humming Christmas carols.
Oh my goodness that is adorable. I was listening to a podcast the other day when one of the guests on the podcasts mentioned he listens to Christmas Carols year round. They are unadulteredly happy music!
The quilt turned out so adorable! Congratulations on the awesome finish! 😊
Thank you!
That turned out well!
Thank you!
