Ugly Christmas Sweaters Quilt Along

Hi y'all!  I think I'm finally caught up on my myriad of projects.  I'm going to share last weeks blocks on a couple of projects today but then, it's all about Christmas Sweaters!!

First up, here is this week's block for Project 48.

Project 48 Modern Flying Geese





This block was really pretty simple.  I love the way it turned out!  This is going to be a fabulous quilt when it's done!

Next up is the blocks for The Splendid Sampler from this last week.

The Splendid Sampler 36 Patch and Scrap Star




They are looking so so so pretty!!  Every block is just as gorgeous as the last!! 

Now, let me catch you up on the Ugly Christmas Sweaters QAL.  This is a really fun quilt along hosted and designed by Lorna at Sew Fresh Quilts.  Since I couldn't post for a while, I'm showing you all the blocks thus far.  Here's the first set...

Ugly Sweaters Set 1

That coral/orangey one is just gorgeous!  And the second set...

Ugly Sweaters Set 2 
Love these fun blocks!  A lot of the fabric on the non-pieced centers were sent to me by my online friends.  Love them!  Here's the third set...

That plaid on the upper right may be one of my favorite fabrics in this quilt.  I had no idea what I'd use it for when I got it but it is right at home here.  Now for the fourth set...

Those penguins!!!  And the fifth set...

Ugly Sweaters Set 5

This set definitely shows some favorites.  I'm not one to work with grey but it is so pretty here.  And that pink block!?!  And now the final set...

Ugly Sweaters Set 6

I finished up these penguins last night.  And that purple is so deep and luscious!  Okay, that is 22 blocks and I want 42 so I'm a little over halfway.  But how will they look together?

Ugly Sweaters Together

That's an idea!  And OMG!!!  Can I just say how much I love it!!!  I cannot wait to be curled up with this next Christmas!!!

So, we are slowly getting you caught up on all of the projects.  I think the next one I bring in for you will be the 365 Block Challenge.  That's a lot of blocks so far, but mostly small.  Can't wait to share!

Today I'll be linking up with...Patchwork Times, Cooking Up Quilts, Bits and Bobs, Quilt Story, Freemotion by the River, Blossom Heart Quilts, and Sew Fresh Quilts.

  2. What a post full of fun and so much work in all your blocks. If it's okay to have favourites I have 3 from your ugly Christmas sweater blocks - The Grinch, The letter to Santa and the Christmas stocking. There's no question this will be the talk of your Christmas and more when it's finished. Thanks so much for linking up at Sew Cute Tuesday today - Chris (guest host) @madebyChrissieD :D

  4. These look so great! I want to make these-or at least a couple, but I also wanted to make the elephant parade quilt & still have,t gotten to it! There is always something else that needs done! Maybe next Christmas I can get a chance/reason to sew them for someone else so it will actually get done!

  11. Your fabric choices on your sweaters are awesome! You are going to have the best quilt around, and I don't think anyone can call them ugly sweaters! Your Project 48 blocks are also terrific, and the setting is perfect. I really like what you are doing.
