Today we're adding an Hourglass border to our medallion centers, and the extra time we spent carefully pressing the seam allowances on our Hourglass blocks on Day 3 is going to pay off big time!

Deck the Halls QAL - Day 7
Here's where we're headed...
This year we're making a medallion quilt! And what a center medallion it is—wouldn't it be beautiful on its own as a mini quilt or even a pillow?!

Deck the Halls QAL - Day 6
Welcome back to the Deck the Halls QAL! ♫♪ It's Day 6 already and our last day of piecing blocks!
Today we'll be making Half Square Triangles and Split Quarter Square Triangles, which means marking and trimming, BUT because it's Friday we have an extra day to finish the blocks. Funny how that worked out! :)

Deck the Halls QAL - Day 4
Welcome back for Day 4 of the Deck the Halls QAL!! ♫♪
Today's block looks kind of like an aloe plant or a succulent—more abstract greenery— but we're going to call it a "mystery" block. And because it's the first of two mystery blocks, we'll call this one Mystery Block A.

Happy Friday and welcome back for Day 3 of the Deck the Halls QAL! ♪♫
Today we'll be making Hourglass blocks! Easy right?! But even if you're familiar with how to make Hourglass blocks, be sure to read through the tutorial once because we'll be changing up the seam allowance pressing a bit to suit our purposes.
