Winter Wonderland Sew Along–Peppermint Block and a Giveaway

August 22, 2015 by persimondreams 102 Comments

Happy Saturday everyone!  Have you been following along with the fun I’ve been having with the #verysherrichristmas Winter Wonderland Sew Along with the Fat Quarter Shop.  If not it’s with  Sherri Falls of This & That patterns and we’re all sewing up the Sleigh Bell Sampler from her first book with It’s Sew Emma, Winter Wonderland. You can see my first two blocks here, my second two blocks here, and my third two blocks here. I got started in this fun because I’m honored to be the host of the ‘Peppermint’ block!  IMG_1648 I chose a rather unconventional fabric combination for my peppermint block but I do think it is wonderful!  I just love mixing that light aqua with reds.  Be sure to head on over and see what the A Quilting Life did with her basket block!  Keep an eye on my instagram account … @PersimonDreams  to see what my basket block turned out like! IMG_1735 Here are six of my blocks all together!  I’m going to make all twelve of the blocks but I’m not 100% sure I’m going to make it into the final quilt.  Don’t get me wrong – I love what Sherri did with the layout of her sampler … but I also think these blocks would make super cute miniature wall hangings, pot holders (that are pretty and you don’t actually use) or even set into placemats for the holiday’s.  The possibilities are endless and the blocks are lots of fun to put together! winter wonderland book And with all of that – I also have a GIVEAWAY to offer you!  Yes – another GIVEAWAY!  Too much fun is happening on my blog this week!

The Giveaway

What can you win? Holly's Tree Farm Fabric The Fat Quarter shop is giving one lucky person your very own copy of Winter Wonderland AND a Holly’s Tree Farm Fat Quarter bundle!  What fabulous prizes!!! REQUIRED: To win just answer one simple question …

Which fat quarter bundle from the ‘Christmas Fabric’ category at the Fat Quarter Shop would you use to make your #verysherrichristmas quilt?  Click HERE to see your options. 

Bonus Entry: Follow me on Instagram: @PersimonDreams and leave an additional comment to let me know you did! A randomly chosen winner will be announced on Friday, August 28th!

The small amount of affiliate income I earn allows me to bring you free patterns and DIY tutorials, as well as pay for domain fees.
