We must give credit where it is due-the Moda team had a lot of inspiration from people who have made Christmas word quilts before us! Here's a selection, many made during our previous Spell It with Moda sewalong using the larger size free download version of this lettering. All of the filler blocks measure 5"x7" finished.

You can certainly make this same quilt just following the directions in Lisa Bongean's pattern, but following our sashing instructions will make a little better use of your fabric for making full words rather than individual letters.

We'll share the setting info for each new word in our blog posts for the 25th of the month every month, plus complete finishing info in November. So, if you're working out the measurements for a new 4-letter word like TREE, the block formula for width would be:įor 'TREE', that would be 1"*5 sashings + 4"*4 letters = 5 + 16 = 21" long block (all rows/blocks finish 7" tall). Here's a basic breakdown of how each word block will lay out (all sizes are FINISHED sizes add 0.5" for cutting sizes). For borders & sashing, we've changed it up from the written pattern to work better for full words rather than individual letter blocks. Or, if you want to make the quilt exactly as shown in our Bella Solid color palette, you'll need the following colors: 9900 14 Christmas Green, 16 Christmas Red, 17 Country Red, 77 Dill, 123 Betty's Red, 133 Mint, 150 Kansas Red, 228 Fresh Grass & 200 Off-White for background).Įach letter in the Mini Alphabet Quilt pattern finishes at 4"x5". Moda's Lissa Alexander is sewing our main Letters to Santa quilt using scrappy red, green, and white prints. Here's a preview of Lissa Alexander's scrappy fabrics, using a mix of small- and medium-scale Christmas prints: This is the perfect project to build your stash, or to use things you've been holding onto! You would do well with F8's or FQ's if you want one background fabric rather than scrappy, like shown in our quilt mockup, you'd want approx. We don't have set fabric requirements for the QAL, similar to Moda Blockheads. Look for Moda's words for that month, new filler block patterns, alternate project ideas, and more on the 25TH OF EVERY MONTH THROUGH NOVEMBER. Moda Michelle is using Ruby Star Society's Jolly Basics and Jolly Darlings in a tribute to her favorite Christmas movies, which will finish at 81"x88". Moda's Alison Dale is working on her idea for a more religious-based Christmas quilt, and let us share her layout-in-development. We know how creative quilters are, so this quilt is really just a starting point for whatever you can dream up for your perfect Christmas words! Alison Dale will be making more of a religious-oriented quilt (preview of her planning-in-progress below), and Moda Michelle will be listing all of her favorite Christmas movies. This is the main Moda Letters to Santa quilt, shown using Bella Solids. You'll need to purchase the lettering pattern from your favorite quilt shop, and Moda will help you with the rest! Moda has a version of the quilt dreamed up that we'll be sewing along with, that has 25 words, 9 filler block designs (each used x3), and a final layout measuring 75"x94". Letters to Santa is a choose-your-own-adventure style quiltalong using lettering from the Mini Alphabet Quilt by Primitive Gatherings (PRI 442), a few new festive filler blocks, and any holiday words you can imagine.
The pattern: Mini Alphabet Quilt by Primitive Gatherings (PRI 442). Gonna find out who's naughty or nice (just kidding, we know ALL quilters are nice, right?) The Moda elves in Santa's workshop have been busy behind the scenes working up a new quilt along.Ĭhecking it twice (for spelling, there's no autocorrect on the sewing machine!)
