Hello! Don't worry .... it's not December yet, but today I'm sharing the cutest Christmas Collection - Merry Little Christmas designed by Sandy Gervais for Riley Blake Designs. I just love all the whimsical illustrations and the panel is AMAZING!
I chose to make my Park Quilt with Merry Little Christmas because the blocks are perfect for showing the wonderful whimsy illustrations! (Pattern here).
The Park Quilt Pattern is perfect for beginner quilters as the quilt blocks are only squares - no tricky piecing! The Park Quilt Pattern gives traditional cutting instructions, but it is easily adaptable to use with your AccuQuilt GO! Mix & Match 8" Block Qube.

I LOVE it so much!!! The Merry Little Christmas Panel is just too cute!!! Plus my quilt is totally reversible now!
You could fussy cut each of those cute houses .... they are too adorable!!!
To make my pieced backing - I cut all my fabric into 6" and 3" strips. Next I sewed them together and attached the strips to the sides of the panel and trimmed to size. I love the scrappy look!!!!
