’12 Days of Christmas’ Block 5: Presents





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!

Hello all! Moving right along, today’s block is It’s All About Presents from Elizabeth at Don’t Call Me Betsy. This block is super-cute, and perfect for using some scraps! I just love that she separated the red and green fabrics in her original block. Can’t wait to make this one!!

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 Thursday!
