My version of Merry and Bright

Renee Chester's Quilting AddictionNovember 23, 2018November 23, 2018Uncategorized

Starting in september Pat Sloan was doing a 17 week sew along on her Facebook site called Merry and bright.. I started making it along with everyone and soon realized that i did not like some of her blocks so I went ahead and made my own.. It all started with the gingerbread man from an earlier post. In the end ended up swapping 7 of her blocks and adding a sashing with cornerstones to give my quilt its own life. I also tried to embellish each block. This entire quilt was made from materials from my Christmas bin with the exception of the alternating blocks.. I purchased a jelly roll for these.

Here are the 7 that I designed myself:

Here are is the link to these.. I have just turned my EQ8 patterns to Pdf.. no instructions… Christmas blocks

now for her blocks the 3rd week i think she gave us the alternating blocks.. a 9 patch.

I live by Mayerthorpe, Alberta Canada.A mother of 3. In my spare time I have 2 loves: Quilting and my horses these work well with the seasons. I started quilting when my oldest daughter was born 25+ years ago. I was making western shirts, when I quilt making those I had lots of bright cotton so I started making quilts. Over the last 17 years I have really gotten into it. I started taking an applique and a free motion class at my LQS. I'm now at the point where I no longer purchase Patterns. I've actually started designing my own. In 2015 I invested in EQ7 Quilt design program. In 2013 I purchased a HQ Sixteen on a 12 foot frame. View all posts by Renee Chester's Quilting Addiction

Love your version! I saved all of Pat Sloan’s block patterns, but haven’t even begun to make this yet. It is very generous of you to share your block designs! I just might have to add them to Pat’s! 🙂
