NOEL FPP Quilt Block

Fun fact…did you know that Noël is the French word for Christmas? Over time, the term has made its way into the English language and has become synonymous with festive spirit, peace, and goodwill during this wonderful time of year.

The NOEL quilt block will look great on a cushion or combined with some of my other Christmas blocks in a quilt or on a table runner.

This design can be made as either a 6″ or a 10″ finished block as you get both sets of pattern pieces with your purchase.

The great news is that there are no seams to match so it’s great if you are just starting out on your FPP journey! On the letter ‘O’ there are some smaller pieces, but it’s nothing too tricky! As always, if you are unsure, just cut a slightly larger piece of fabric to work with.

The NOEL FPP Quilt Block pattern has a host of great features:

:: 5 page full colour instructions
:: Coloured illustration of the block
:: Blank diagram and a useful key so you can plan your colours and fabric placement
:: Construction diagram to help with putting the block together
:: Step-by-step illustrated guide to constructing the block
:: Digitally drawn pattern pieces for accuracy, plus a 1″ test square so you can check your printer settings before starting to sew
:: Pattern pieces that have been reversed so that you make a block exactly the same as the picture (which is important when you are sewing letters!)
:: Pattern pieces can print out on A4 or US Letter paper
:: Pattern pieces feature a patterned/non-solid fill so that you minimise printer ink usage

I use my add a quarter ruler (and my add an eighth ruler) every time I do FPP!

This glue gets used every time I add my first piece of fabric (and for so many other things!)

 Pym glass head quilting pins, for me, are the ideal length and thickness for patchwork!

Sewing clips are always useful for so many different projects, not just patchwork!
