Presents Galore Block of the Month #6 | Christmas Quilt (2022)

Debbie Shore's no-template festive quilt block will help you master Flying Geese and more!

Yes, that's right! This month you won’t need any templates to make your quilt block; all the pieces for these Christmas presents are cut out by hand. To make up the bows on top of the presents, you’ll be using a combination of Flying Geese, Half Square Triangles (HSTs) and Split Quarter Square Triangles – all quilting and patchwork techniques that you’ve encountered before in previous Block of the Month quilt projects. Please see the Tips & Techniques boxes, right, if you need a reminder.

Untrimmed block size: 18½in (47cm) wide x 12½in (31.75cm) deep
