This post is part of the ’12 Days of Christmas’ Sampler Quilt Along series. For tutorials on how to make the other blocks, please see the block schedule here!

Wow, I can’t believe we’re already up to the 4th of the 12 blocks! Today’s block is the Scrappy Star, and you can find the instructions to make it here at Clover and Violet. Jennie has cooked up a really cute block that will help you use any great Christmas prints that you have. She made 2 different versions of the block.

Pop on over to the Flickr Group for block discussion, or if you have any questions along the way when making this block! I have really enjoyed seeing the creative blocks!

The next block is coming on Tuesday!

So! I've finally finished my Christmas tree skirt! I sort of took my time on this one. I've felt slightly lackluster about sewing lately, probably because of all the other things that need to be organized for the holiday.
