12 Days of Christmas BOM Kickoff!

Hey there, Christmas lovers!  Now that the Fourth of July celebrations are over, we can really, start celebrating Christmas in July, which means it’s time to kickoff our 12 Days of Christmas Block of the Month!  



This quilt is unlike any other 12 Days of Christmas quilt you've ever seen- it is all traditionally pieced! There is no appliqué, no paper piecing, and no curved or Y-seams.  It is SO much fun to make, and it's a real showstopper whether you hang it on a wall, or use it on a bed.  

Though the blocks are detailed, the finish is worth it.  Even with all of that detail, each of these blocks can be completed in less than an afternoon from start to finish (including cutting!), which makes it very manageable for even the busiest quilter.



In case you missed last week's post, here's a rundown of the BOM schedule, which will give you a totally finished quilt by next Christmas (2027).  
July 2026- Kickoff and get your book!
August- Gather your fabrics
September- Block 5, Five Golden Rings
October- Block 6, Six Geese a Laying
November- Block 3, Three French Hens
December- Block 2, Two Turtle Doves

January 2027- Block 4, Four Calling Birds
February- Block 7, Seven Swans a Swimming
March- Block 9, Nine Ladies Dancing
April- Block 10, Ten Lords a Leaping
May- Block 8, Eight Maids a Milking
June- Block 11, Eleven Pipers Piping
July- Block 1, A Partridge in a Pear Tree
August- Block 12, Twelve Drummers Drumming
September- Choose Your Layout, Sew the Quilt Top
October- Quilting and Binding
November- Final Link Up- Finished Quilt in Time for Christmas!


So, it's time to get your book!  Signed copies are available in my Etsy shop HERE, or you can get it from Amazon.  Just FYI- those copies come straight from Amazon via my publisher, so they will not be signed.


Of course, if you like to sew fast and furious, there is plenty of time for you to finish it before THIS Christmas if you like. I actually made TWO of them in the span of about three weeks.  If you choose to sew the blocks all at once, I hope you'll still share with everyone along the way!


I'm really looking forward to sharing the joy of the Christmas season with all of you, and I'm so excited to finally get started!
