Pieceful Sunday: I Wish You a Merry QAl! Quilt Top

Last week I wrote about my secret piecing. Well this week I am able to reveal what I was working on. I finished putting together the 12 blocks in the I Wish You a Merry QAL! quilt along! A photo of the quilt top is shown below. You can read about the process of completing this quilt top here.

I cannot thank the group enough for their time, generosity, and commitment to our group! We all had a slightly different take on designing and making each block, That added to the fun! It was fun to see the participants' versions of the designs as well. What a creative group!

All 12 of the blocks in the I Wish You a Merry Quilt-A-Long are available for free on the designer's  web site until January 15, 2018 at midnight. I am  offering links to the released block patterns on my Quilt Alongs page until then.

We're excited to announce that we will be doing a Fall themed quilt along in 2018! We're still ironing out the details, but we'll let you know more as soon as we do. Announcements about the next quilt along will be made right here on the blog, as well as in the I Wish You a Merry Quilt-A-Long Facebook group.
