For my quilt we will be making 30 of this scrappy block - I love the chains that run through it!
Each block required 16 square cut 2" of the background and 16 squares cut 2" of your Christmas prints. So, for the entire quilt you will need a total of:
- 480 squares cut 2" square of your background - this can be scrappy!
- 480 squares cut 2" square of your Christmas prints - this should be scrappy - again I am sticking to the darker Christmas prints and leaving out the lights.
- 240 @ 3" finished HST (3.5" unfinished) of the background fabric - this can be scrappy
- 240 @ 3" finished HST (3.5" unfinished) of scrappy Christmas prints
- 120 squares cut 3 7/8" square of the background fabric - this can be scrappy
- 120 squares cut 3 7/8" square of the scrappy Christmas prints

Ok - ready - set - cut!

I made a sample block today. You were exactly right. I love love love that 2" die. Yeah! Now only a whole bunch to cut...
I really love the bock, I really think I'm going to have to get the dies to make it.
Oh I so wish I had a go cutter...I broke my finger on my right hand and it is taking me forever to cut...but I will persevere....not whining just thinking how much easier it would be...I cannot tell you how many times I have tried to win one but I will keep trying....take care. great quilt!
