I expected it to look very Christmassy, given all of the red and green, but it doesn't. It's bright and fresh and I think the black helps on that front too.
I've said it before and will likely say it again: this is such a great charity quilt pattern because the blocks comes together so quickly. It's basically the first step in a Log Cabin pattern. And it can be made in any number of sizes. Mine were closer to 16" blocks but I think that these are 12", and no need to add borders given that we are working to provide lap quilts. She just finished it off with the same black sashing strips.
If memory serves me correctly, there will be five versions of this pattern in our bundle this year - I've made two, Anne made one, and Jean has made two (not sure that I've shown you Jean's, but they are lovely). There's still a few months to go before we ship our donation so who knows, there might be more happiness on the way....M
