The quilt museum in Lowell MA had a display of potholder quilts. The potholders had been handed out during a presidential campaign and someone had stitched them together, I believe, with the whipstitch. That is perhaps where the idea came from. Yours is very nice with the Christmasy bulbs.

That is a precious block and would make up a really cute quilt or wall hanging!. I'm going to be watching for answers about the QAYG. This would be a perfect ongoing project for the year.

Thank you .... Look forward to seeing the traded blocks .... and hope you will show us the seasonal quilts you have hanging too!

That's a super cute block!

There are many ways to join quilted blocks. I posted a tute here in the tutorials section and Paper Princess has already given the link to it. It's an easy method that doesn't involve any hand stitching at all. The sashing will be about 1/2" wide.

Please show us that quilt when you get it completed!
