GINGERBREAD HOUSE SEWALONG

Who can resist such an adorable quilt pattern?! It is seasonal cuteness at it's best. This beautiful Gingerbread House quilt  by Gracey Larson features in the latest Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine, issue 66 out now.

The blocks are all traditionally pieced using easy methods like corner squares triangles. Row-by-row quilts are so appealing, the neat structure appeals to my organised side and the possibility of easily mixing things up pleases the rebel in me! Full of sweet blocks, the quilt is made up of the Gingerbread man, Candy cane, Gumdrops, Mint sweet, Tree cookie and Hot chocolate blocks. I fell for the little gumdrops and enjoyed picking out fabrics that had that sugar sprinkle look.

Added in a few metallic prints for a little sparkle and it was a quick block to sew. Actually I would like a whole quilt of these, wouldn't that look amazing! Modern and graphic. Combined with the other blocks in the quilt though it really does look like sweet little treats.

This pattern makes such a lovely quilt for winter! The simple patchwork is fun to sew and the encouragement of the sew along is a great motivator to make your own version. I used up a few scraps so it would be a good one to use all those precious pieces you've been saving (or is that just me?!).
