Welcome to the December instructions for the Modern Plus Sampler!
Let's get into the holiday spirit with some applique :)
This month's instructions are the Applique areas on the sides of the large plus sign. Remember, if you would rather not do any applique for the quilt top, we have no applique options here.

You know applique is my favorite, so I'm excited about this month's instructions!
ReplyDeleteI have a question. If we would like to do this pattern as no applique, do we need to wait until next months instructions to get the next blocks done and do them twice?
ReplyDeleteI am excited to give the blocks a try. I am planning on using the Crafted Applique method since I have a straight stitch machine. :)
ReplyDeleteMay have to save applique until Christmas break when I can sit and focus LOL But now I see Yvonne above me using the Crafted Applique method...maybe I'll do that. :)
