I've started another Christmas quilt, no surprise there! I've seen this block before on Jo's blog but decided to start piecing a quilt of my own. Jo has a good tutorial on piecing the block.
This is what an individual block looks like.
I'm in the process of sewing the HST's. With 120 blocks in the quilt and 4 HST's in a block, that's 480 HST's!
To make the HST's, I'm using the HST's ruler.
Just make sure you have the right sides together and the triangles are ready to sew.
Sarah will be having a Christmas in July blog hop later this month but I'm busy then and might be absent part of the time.

480 HSTs!!! Wowsa! I do love the layout but really appreciate the colors you chose! It will make such a pretty holiday quilt and has nice contrast! Have a wonderful day!
What a great block. It will make a lovely Christmas quilt.
For sure the ruler will make the process of cutting so many HST a little more fun and with no waste. The block is wonderful, it's going to be a beautiful scrappy Christmas quilt!
This will be a lovely new Christmas quilt, Gretchen!
That's a lot of HST's. This is going to be a lovely Christmas quilt.
I made Jo's Christmas quilt too. It's a great pattern and I love how it turned out.
I always gravitate towards the patterns with many smaller pieces. Can't help myself. Sometimes I count the pieces just for curiosity's sake but it doesn't stop me from choosing that project.
Your quilt will be gorgeous when done!!
