12 Days of Christmas (already!)

Wow, is it really October already?  I cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by.  And already, I'm drooling over Christmas stuff {maybe the baby has me in the planning mode early}.  Anyway, in addition to making a fourth stocking, I've been dreaming of attempting a Christmas quilt {yes, I do need another project}.  Well, wouldn't you know it, I received an e-mail from Sara at Sew Sweetness about that very thing.  She's organizing a 12 Days of Christmas Sampler Quilt Along!

Here are the details Sara's provided:

Twelve bloggers will each create a unique 12.5" Christmas-themed block and prepare a tutorial to go along with it. The block instructions, available on each designers' blog, will be spread over a 6-week period, giving you plenty of time to join in! If you decide to quilt along with us, at the end of the 6 weeks, you will have a completed Christmas quilt top!

If you are planning on joining, the quilt top will require 12 fat quarters, or 1 layer cake. You are also more than welcome to use various solid/holiday scraps! In addition to that, you will need approximately 1-1/2 yard of solid fabric for the sashing.

Here is the schedule for each of the 12 blocks; on the respective date, you will be able to find the block/tutorial on the specified blog. You can also check back here after the date has passed, to find links to the tutorials!
