It's hard to believe how quickly this month is flying by!</p><p>Here's a quick little project that you can stitch up this weekend, just in time for Valentine's Day.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/3c1579c0-d017-6363-f09b-c00336eae1be.jpg" data-file-id="6755676" height="400" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/3c1579c0-d017-6363-f09b-c00336eae1be.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 400px; margin: 0px; width: 400px;" width="400" /></p><p><br />This sweet mini charm pack friendly quilt made its first appearance as a Moda Bake Shop tutorial. It was originally called Christmas Candy and featured pretty embroidered poinsettias and vines.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/9008bbc2-874a-eb66-d961-749c3cb7a71d.jpg" data-file-id="6755640" height="391" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/9008bbc2-874a-eb66-d961-749c3cb7a71d.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 391px; margin: 0px; width: 400px;" width="400" /></p><p><br />It was such a fast and easy project, not to mention a great way to use a mini charm pack, that I decided to make a Halloween version, this time finished as a pillow.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/a6e91359-a145-0408-db42-aff3ac358699.jpg" data-file-id="6755644" height="400" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/a6e91359-a145-0408-db42-aff3ac358699.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 400px; margin: 0px; width: 400px;" width="400" /></p><p><br />Not content to stop there, I made another mini quilt version —this time for spring.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/9aef41eb-1728-ddb3-775a-3f4993ba10d6.jpg" data-file-id="6755648" height="400" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/9aef41eb-1728-ddb3-775a-3f4993ba10d6.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 400px; margin: 0px; width: 400px;" width="400" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And now at long last, I've made a Valentine's Day version. Don't have a mini charm pack on hand for this weekend? No worries! I made this little quilt with 2½" squares that I cut from my stash—no shopping required. I'm not sure that's a good thing, but it is possible. 😂</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/49ee8cbb-2b00-15d3-4766-e60cdb33575d.jpg" data-file-id="6755676" height="400" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/49ee8cbb-2b00-15d3-4766-e60cdb33575d.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 400px; margin: 0px; width: 400px;" width="400" /></p><p><br />I've written up a quick pattern that applies to all of the "Candy" projects.

I turned all of those extra blocks into a row style oversized lap quilt—call it Bundle Up 2.0. This quilt was so much fun to make with lots of opportunity to incorporate more color (pink!) and extra prints—and at 69" x 74", it's the perfect size to actually bundle up with!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1612698651/bundle-up-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen-daly" href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1612698651/bundle-up-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen-daly" target="_blank"><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/d9c94681-cc52-d20f-4196-beed106b0022.jpg" data-file-id="6755652" height="400" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/d9c94681-cc52-d20f-4196-beed106b0022.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 400px; margin: 0px; width: 400px;" width="400" /></a></p><p><br />The <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1612698651/bundle-up-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen-daly">updated Bundle Up pattern</a>, including fabric requirements, cutting instructions and directions for both the Quilt-Along wall hanging and the lap quilt version, is available for download in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jendalyquilts">my Etsy shop</a>.

I've corrected the cutting sheet so if you haven't yet downloaded it or want to download a new one, the original link takes you to the corrected sheet.<br /><br />And now that's a wrap! 😂<br /><br />Happy Holidays!!<br /><br />—jen</p><p><br /></p><p>Helpful links:<br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://jendalyquilts.com/quilt-along/" href="https://jendalyquilts.com/quilt-along/" target="_blank">Bundle Up Quilt-Along Page</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ztcu09nzEou_XXhSrGyHFlwCL9ZyS9PF/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ztcu09nzEou_XXhSrGyHFlwCL9ZyS9PF/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Materials List</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xvZP6U47gD151kweWk_IUrUdrT-aJkEf/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xvZP6U47gD151kweWk_IUrUdrT-aJkEf/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Cutting</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1geHtDko__VFm00EQNYuv1GhiIugYN3iz/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1geHtDko__VFm00EQNYuv1GhiIugYN3iz/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Day 2 - Shoo Fly/Star Blocks</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k9czehP_c3HvHUrUzgxd811V7LgILCyt/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k9czehP_c3HvHUrUzgxd811V7LgILCyt/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Day 3 - Pinwheels/Snowflake</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZwmqlpO7IZsP8YVAYjDMO_8N6pU-LCIA/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZwmqlpO7IZsP8YVAYjDMO_8N6pU-LCIA/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Day 4 - Brrr</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/12hnKStGqyuLa2lPO-jp2rJuop80LGXHN/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/12hnKStGqyuLa2lPO-jp2rJuop80LGXHN/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Day 5 - Hat</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-9TTKrxBn28Ugs8A_CxlA5Zc_NtJKUjV/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-9TTKrxBn28Ugs8A_CxlA5Zc_NtJKUjV/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Day 6 - Mittens</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g-IQiU9b8QABFoWpugp-3oKOoRBJfMgB/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g-IQiU9b8QABFoWpugp-3oKOoRBJfMgB/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Day 7 - Socks</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WcHlZFh2qC3_6-A8UgBcwLKDFrK1MeVM/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WcHlZFh2qC3_6-A8UgBcwLKDFrK1MeVM/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Day 8 - Assembly</a><br /><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1612698651/bundle-up-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen-daly" href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1612698651/bundle-up-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen-daly" target="_blank">Bundle Up complete pattern</a></p><p><a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1612698651/bundle-up-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen-daly" href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1612698651/bundle-up-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen-daly" target="_blank"><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/640db999-f801-adc4-5755-1074c05f56b1.jpg" data-file-id="6742476" height="194" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/640db999-f801-adc4-5755-1074c05f56b1.jpg" style="border: 0px;

I'm always a little sad to reach the end of the QAL. It's so much fun to connect with you all and it keeps my holiday spirit humming along all month.:) But, the good part about reaching the end is getting to see some finished quilts!<br /><br />I'm so happy with how my Bundle Up quilt turned out. After assembling it, I machine quilted it using the "Surf" pattern by Anne Bright Designs. I've used Surf before and it's a great one for both watery and wintery quilts. I quilted my quilt with a gray-blue thread that melts away into the background and doesn't fight the white too much. I bound my quilt with a diagonal red and white stripe and I love how it contributes to the subtle Christmassy vibe of the quilt and adds another pop of interest. So fun!</p><p>I'm sure you're excited to begin assembling your Bundle Up quilt, so without further delay, here's the <a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WcHlZFh2qC3_6-A8UgBcwLKDFrK1MeVM/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WcHlZFh2qC3_6-A8UgBcwLKDFrK1MeVM/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">link to today's two-page assembly instruction sheet:</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WcHlZFh2qC3_6-A8UgBcwLKDFrK1MeVM/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WcHlZFh2qC3_6-A8UgBcwLKDFrK1MeVM/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/4ac9d36c-a7c3-7742-314a-f532db58bdfc.jpg" data-file-id="6747844" height="310" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/4ac9d36c-a7c3-7742-314a-f532db58bdfc.jpg" style="border: 0px initial; height: 310px; margin: 0px; width: 240px;" width="240" /></a><br /><br /></p><p>I'd love to see your finished Bundle Up quilts!

It's hard to believe, but it will be our tenth annual QAL—time flies! I'll announce next year's QAL in November of 2024. If you're an email subscriber, you'll receive a notification in your inbox.<br /><br />In the meantime, thank you so much for quilting/following along with me this year! It's the quilty highlight of my Christmas season and I can't thank you enough for your support! I hope you have a wonderful holiday and a happy and healthy new year and don't forget to bundle up!</p><p>Warmly,<br />—jen</p><p align="center"><br /></p><p>Helpful links:<br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://jendalyquilts.com/quilt-along/" href="https://jendalyquilts.com/quilt-along/" target="_blank">Bundle Up Quilt-Along Page</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ztcu09nzEou_XXhSrGyHFlwCL9ZyS9PF/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ztcu09nzEou_XXhSrGyHFlwCL9ZyS9PF/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Materials List</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xvZP6U47gD151kweWk_IUrUdrT-aJkEf/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xvZP6U47gD151kweWk_IUrUdrT-aJkEf/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Cutting</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1geHtDko__VFm00EQNYuv1GhiIugYN3iz/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1geHtDko__VFm00EQNYuv1GhiIugYN3iz/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Day 2 - Shoo Fly/Star Blocks</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k9czehP_c3HvHUrUzgxd811V7LgILCyt/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k9czehP_c3HvHUrUzgxd811V7LgILCyt/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Day 3 - Pinwheels/Snowflake</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZwmqlpO7IZsP8YVAYjDMO_8N6pU-LCIA/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZwmqlpO7IZsP8YVAYjDMO_8N6pU-LCIA/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Day 4 - Brrr</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/12hnKStGqyuLa2lPO-jp2rJuop80LGXHN/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/12hnKStGqyuLa2lPO-jp2rJuop80LGXHN/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Day 5 - Hat</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-9TTKrxBn28Ugs8A_CxlA5Zc_NtJKUjV/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-9TTKrxBn28Ugs8A_CxlA5Zc_NtJKUjV/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Day 6 - Mittens</a><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g-IQiU9b8QABFoWpugp-3oKOoRBJfMgB/view?usp=sharing" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g-IQiU9b8QABFoWpugp-3oKOoRBJfMgB/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Bundle Up Day 7 - Socks</a><br /><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1612698651/bundle-up-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen-daly" href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1612698651/bundle-up-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen-daly" target="_blank">Bundle Up complete pattern</a></p><p><a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1612698651/bundle-up-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen-daly" href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1612698651/bundle-up-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen-daly" target="_blank"><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/640db999-f801-adc4-5755-1074c05f56b1.jpg" data-file-id="6742476" height="194" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/640db999-f801-adc4-5755-1074c05f56b1.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 194px; margin: 0px; width: 150px;" width="150" /></a><br /><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/3b4720d6-a568-1a23-c350-7a111154593d.png" data-file-id="6739592" height="115" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/3b4720d6-a568-1a23-c350-7a111154593d.png" style="border: 0px initial; float: right; height: 115px; margin: 0px; width: 200px;" width="200" /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>Jen Dalyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06310613914040808209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-506018765729618227.post-59590703076859570402023-12-18T08:37:00.002-05:002023-12-18T08:42:21.398-05:00Bundle Up QAL Day 7 - Socks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq3sFVDYLK-uvIsmoq-c5mpdcQ5CVxtIQQAone7GkHcmG6Is1s-6TuZ3MaixKporUplBA-dYjv7eiETINxBoR5ueqcW2zNCqPPT4jW0_wx7lprnl0JAX15EC3ToJzlxdie7F8ZwObL-Z23zqqdyJkDJfYtEqX_KsWfDCSbGOJE9LY5dJ9TZnE1_8GQpZJB/s1080/Starts%20Today!.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq3sFVDYLK-uvIsmoq-c5mpdcQ5CVxtIQQAone7GkHcmG6Is1s-6TuZ3MaixKporUplBA-dYjv7eiETINxBoR5ueqcW2zNCqPPT4jW0_wx7lprnl0JAX15EC3ToJzlxdie7F8ZwObL-Z23zqqdyJkDJfYtEqX_KsWfDCSbGOJE9LY5dJ9TZnE1_8GQpZJB/w400-h400/Starts%20Today!.png" width="400" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>🎵 Oh the weather outside is frightful! 🎶<br /><br />The weather is truly frightful here this morning in New Hampshire.

One of my favorite parts of our annual Christmas Quilt-Along is that it gives me an excuse to take a few moments here and there to slow down and create just for the fun of it. I hope it does the same for you! :)<br /><br />Speaking of fun—today we're moving on to the mitten blocks. I 🩵 these mittens!! They're super easy to make and the little holly/berry inset gives them a subtle Christmassy vibe. I think they'd be cute in any color (and I'm thinking of making more just for fun 😉), but that turquoise really makes my heart sing!<br /><br />Ready to get started on your mittens?

My favorite part about this block is its contrasting zig-zag line and the way it resembles the ribbed cuff of a knit hat. And although the zig-zag is made up of a lot of pieces, if you pay particular attention to the instructions for pressing seam allowances, it comes together like a dream—very satisfying.<br /><br />Ready to get started?

My Christmas spirit has jumped exponentially and I can't wait to dig into the next blocks for our Bundle Up QAL!<br /><br />Today we'll be making pinwheels and a snowflake block. We'll be using a quick-piecing method for the Flying Geese units that comprise the pinwheel blocks. This method is often called a "No Waste" method, but when I've used it in the past, I've found that my Flying Geese end up a little small—especially when using a thicker fabric like a chambray for the background. So I've given us a bit of wiggle room and made the base squares a little bigger than necessary. This means you'll have to trim your Flying Geese units to the correct size, but I'd rather do a bit of trimming up front for accuracy's sake.<br /><br />To trim your Flying Geese, you'll want to use a small square ruler with a 45° line on it. I like to start with the Flying Geese unit pointing down. Line up the 45° line with the diagonal seam on the right side of the unit. Make sure that the upper right corner of the ruler and the 3½" mark along its top edge align with the diagonal seams of the unit and that the 1¾" dot is on top of the unit's point. This step will ensure that your trimmed unit will be nice and square. Use your rotary cutter to trim the right and top edges.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/bd83291e-d96f-4ad0-9997-cd6b6c453c3a.jpg" data-file-id="6744212" height="300" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/bd83291e-d96f-4ad0-9997-cd6b6c453c3a.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 300px; margin: 0px; width: 300px;" width="300" /> <img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/83b4bd94-9791-4161-ee4a-71ac2d18d24a.jpg" data-file-id="6744216" height="300" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/83b4bd94-9791-4161-ee4a-71ac2d18d24a.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 300px; margin: 0px; width: 300px;" width="300" /></p><p>Next turn the unit 180° and align the trimmed edges with the 2" line (bottom) and the 3½" line (left). Make sure you have at least ¼" between the point of your unit and its top edge and then trim the right and top edges to finish the Flying Geese unit.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/d934407d-1f44-20b3-7345-d3620e004536.jpg" data-file-id="6744220" height="300" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/d934407d-1f44-20b3-7345-d3620e004536.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 300px; margin: 0px; width: 300px;" width="300" /> <img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/f7d996a4-b80d-87a8-c3d6-4021c6ebf8e2.jpg" data-file-id="6744224" height="300" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/f7d996a4-b80d-87a8-c3d6-4021c6ebf8e2.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 300px; margin: 0px; width: 300px;" width="300" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p>One other quick note about the pinwheel blocks.

And for some reason I find it gratifying to uncover that tiny pinwheel on the back of my blocks :).<br /><br />The snowflake block has several steps, but it's surprisingly easy to assemble. This block is a variation on one that I designed for a table runner pattern a few years ago called "<a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/546256567/winter-flowers-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen" href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/546256567/winter-flowers-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen" target="_blank">Winter Flowers</a>". The Winter Flowers block is larger and has a different center because it was loosely inspired by a poinsettia and intended to represent an abstract flower, but I always thought it would make a beautiful snowflake!

The only thing to look out for is to be sure to lay out and piece one of the star blocks as a mirror image to the other two.</p><p>Ready to get started?

This year's project was inspired by New England's winter weather and the cozy clothes we bundle up in to keep us warm when it's cold outside.</p><p>We'll be making a 26¾" x 53¼" sampler quilt. It's a bit longer than a typical wall-hanging—more like a banner—but it's the perfect size to hang on a door. We're going to celebrate the cold by making a knit hat, merry mittens, snug socks and four different "snowflakes"—and for a little extra chill (and because I had so much fun piecing letters during last year's QAL!), we'll throw in the exclamation "Brrr" for good measure.</p><p>The Bundle Up Quilt-Along will begin on Monday, November 27th. It's free for all and there's no need to sign up. Every Monday and Thursday through December 21st, I'll release an instruction sheet for a different part of the project. Instruction sheets will be posted on the <a href="https://www.jendalyquilts.com/quilt-along/" target="_blank">quilt-along page</a> and email subscribers will receive emails containing links to each day's instructions. If you'd like to sign up for email notifications, you can do so on the <a href="https://www.jendalyquilts.com/quilt-along/" target="_blank">quilt-along page</a>. The instruction sheets will be available through the end of December.</p><p>**For those of you who'd like to work at your own pace or finish the project earlier (it would make a great gift!), this year I'll also have the complete "Bundle Up" pattern available for download/purchase in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jendalyquilts" rel="noopener" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a> on November 17th.**</p><p>I'll do regular posts on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jendalyquilts" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JenDalyQuilts/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a> using the hashtag #bundleupqal.

Today we're moving on and making our first blocks—the Star, Pinwheel, and Holly blocks. If you haven't already planned out which 5" charm squares you plan to use for the various blocks, you may want to do so before you begin today using the info contained in the green box on the bottom of the Day 1: Cutting page.<br /><br />As I mentioned earlier, we'll be cutting the charm squares as we progress through the QAL. A 5" square of fabric isn't exactly a forgiving size, so on each of the block instruction pages, I've included charm square cutting diagrams to help you out. If you need to reserve any cut pieces for use in other blocks or in the pieced border, I've made a note either on the charm square cutting diagrams or in step 1 of each of the block making sections, so pay particular attention to the charm square cutting instructions as you go. <br /><br />Have fun making your blocks and if you'd like to share your work on <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/506018765729618227/2240722074510376741#" href="https://www.instagram.com/jendalyquilts" target="_blank">Instagram</a> or <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/506018765729618227/2240722074510376741#" href="http://www.facebook.com/jendalyquilts" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, please consider tagging me @jendalyquilts and using the hashtag #gladtidingsqal—I'd love to see what you're up to!

Admittedly not my favorite part of the process, but necessary to get to the fun stuff :). Because there are a lot of moving parts with this project—42 charm squares and 15 different blocks!—we'll be cutting only the background fabric today and cutting our charm squares as we move through the QAL. To help you stay organized, on the instruction sheet, I've designated the background pieces that you'll need for assembling the quilt with a little †. You can set these pieces aside until we assemble on Day 7 (12/19).<br /><br />As I mentioned, we'll cut the charm squares as we go, but before we begin piecing on Day 2 (12/1) you may want to do some planning and decide which charm squares you intend to use for the various blocks. On the bottom half of the cutting instruction sheet, you'll find a list of how many squares you'll need for each of the blocks to help with your sorting. One thing to keep in mind—if your charm pack has a lot of light or low volume squares, you may want to reserve these for the pieced border to make sure that your blocks show up against your background fabric.<br /></p><p>If you haven't had a chance to gather your materials yet, don't worry, we won't start piecing until Thursday so there's plenty of time to catch up. Jump in whenever you can—the instruction sheets will be accessible throughout December and the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1348566307/glad-tidings-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen" target="_blank">complete pattern</a> will always be available in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jendalyquilts" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a>.</p><p><br />Good luck with your cutting—you've got this!! I'll be back here on Thursday with Day 2 and instructions for our first blocks. So exciting!<br /><br />—jen</p><p><a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1348566307/glad-tidings-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen" href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1348566307/glad-tidings-quilt-pattern-pdf-by-jen" target="_blank"><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/7e9a5efd-1c90-5945-f312-e3f4fd914190.jpg" data-file-id="6488369" height="194" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/7e9a5efd-1c90-5945-f312-e3f4fd914190.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 194px; margin: 0px; width: 150px;" width="150" /></a></p>Jen Dalyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06310613914040808209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-506018765729618227.post-849322391736177722022-11-14T14:07:00.002-05:002022-11-14T14:12:10.960-05:002022 Glad Tidings Quilt-Along Coming Soon!<p>I'm so excited to announce that the 8<sup>th</sup> annual Jen Daly Quilts Christmas Quilt-Along is right around the corner!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.jendalyquilts.com/quilt-along" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="166" data-original-width="950" height="56" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Dsc7EbBDesW-jmOfbVUOp5LT8PFvt5lapTkj4tO3GNknSDts1Q2c-Z_w94V_talodl6DlCp2CEpWNQEV3Nyc-OqeS2HlNRZkt-H4y8DhmIJUiQxFEMRPgyefSmlNGA6hM9Swequiowyb8DimvlMn0n-BKQ8Pj9d8o1pBCXMzCPxxo7FQi0pnH5tIeg/s320/blogger%20banner.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;">Earlier this year, I designed a charm pack quilt called "Flutter By" for the Martingale/Moda Bake Shop book</span><em style="text-align: left;"> <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.amazon.com/Charmed-Moda-Bake-Shop-Delightful/dp/1683562275/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=charmed+by+moda+bake+shop&qid=1668440616&sprefix=%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1" href="https://www.amazon.com/Charmed-Moda-Bake-Shop-Delightful/dp/1683562275/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=charmed+by+moda+bake+shop&qid=1668440616&sprefix=%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Charmed by Moda Bake Shop</a></em><span style="text-align: left;">. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.amazon.com/Charmed-Moda-Bake-Shop-Delightful/dp/1683562275/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=charmed+by+moda+bake+shop&qid=1668440616&sprefix=%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1" href="https://www.amazon.com/Charmed-Moda-Bake-Shop-Delightful/dp/1683562275/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=charmed+by+moda+bake+shop&qid=1668440616&sprefix=%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1" target="_blank"><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/103cd232-02b7-7bb9-1e53-323ef12e2e21.png" data-file-id="6480781" height="250" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/103cd232-02b7-7bb9-1e53-323ef12e2e21.png" style="border: 0px; height: 250px; margin: 0px; width: 250px;" width="250" /></a><br /></p><p>"Flutter By" features several different blocks made with 5" charm squares and it was such a joy to make that I decided it would be fun to design a similar quilt for this year's quilt-along—"Glad Tidings" is the result!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.jendalyquilts.com/quilt-along" href="http://www.jendalyquilts.com/quilt-along" target="_blank"><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/ccbafa6b-54ac-60fa-2198-24875bfc4e49.jpg" data-file-id="6480785" height="650" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/images/ccbafa6b-54ac-60fa-2198-24875bfc4e49.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 650px; margin: 0px; width: 400px;" width="400" /></a></p><p><br />"Glad Tidings" is a 28½" x 46½" row-style wall quilt featuring 15 different blocks organized in the shape of a Christmas tree and surrounded by a pieced border.

I hope you enjoyed your last weekend before Christmas. Here in New Hampshire, we got six inches of snow, I finally put ornaments on the tree, I baked two kinds of Christmas cookies, and I'm feeling hopeful (wishful thinking??) that the rest of my online shopping will show up on time. Five days until Christmas? Bring it on!</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/46caa5bb-c12f-d545-c79a-a08e9f9dae38.jpg" data-file-id="6119402" height="400" src="https://mcusercontent.com/a0daf572ace6d67ddb4fa3917/_compresseds/46caa5bb-c12f-d545-c79a-a08e9f9dae38.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 400px; margin: 0px; width: 400px;" width="400" /><br /></p><p><br />It's Day 7 (and the final day) of the Homespun Holiday QAL and today we're assembling and finishing our table runners! <br /><br />The assembly for this project is super simple — just adding sashing between each of the blocks and all of the rows, always pressing towards the sashing. <br /><br />Then it's on to finishing. In the interest of time, I chose to quilt my table runner with an all over quilting pattern (Holly Hop by Apricot Moon Designs), but I think this project would look great with custom quilting that accentuates the shapes and elements of the different blocks. And if you wanted to do some very simple quilting that underscores the homespun look of the project, you could big stitch quilt by hand down the center of all of the sashing strips using perle cotton. Yum!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjguED8kwK1KhKAUHxHc8raFjsZoOwWOL1OqNl3bYododcgZFXUUyo222GCBTdwEPIz6hH16ycJZUfM9oBTnyZuivqU-SsD7KwH3HYjNRqx8UtG-26Vm_lj552-uHdfF8LiwFjCeeiGVZhf-5VUTrKU_5t76b0av6TH8IhtsJmzjeQvMxuvxpla6GVDMw=s3053" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3050" data-original-width="3053" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjguED8kwK1KhKAUHxHc8raFjsZoOwWOL1OqNl3bYododcgZFXUUyo222GCBTdwEPIz6hH16ycJZUfM9oBTnyZuivqU-SsD7KwH3HYjNRqx8UtG-26Vm_lj552-uHdfF8LiwFjCeeiGVZhf-5VUTrKU_5t76b0av6TH8IhtsJmzjeQvMxuvxpla6GVDMw=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>Ready to get started?

This cozy quilt was a big part of the inspiration for our Homespun Holiday project. North Woods is a 60½" x 64½" lap quilt made with one bundle of 42 - 10" squares and background fabric. I made my quilt for fall using a layer cake of Homemade Homespun fabrics by Kansas Troubles Quilters for Moda, but I think it would be amazing made with Christmas prints.
