’12 Days of Christmas’ Block 8: Noel

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!


Today we have a really cool text block from Lindsay of Lindsay Sews and also Craft Buds! I have never used text in this way before, but I think she did a really great job of laying out the instructions, that I will have to be trying this soon. I wish there were about 2 more months left until Christmas so I could get my holiday sewing done (well, not really, my kids are already looking forward to it!).

Please stop by the ’12 Days of Christmas’ Sampler Quilt Along Flickr Group to post your completed blocks, or any questions you might have along the way!
