Are you dreaming of a Scandinavian Christmas? If the answer is yes, you’ve come to the right place! Welcome to the official Information Page for the Primitive Gatherings Scandinavian Christmas Quilt-Along! Here you will find everything you need to participate in this seasonal quilt-along, including links to each block download as they are released.

QUILT-ALONG DETAILS:

Scandinavian Christmas will run from August, 15th through November 14th, 2024, ending just in time for Christmas! Blocks will be released every other week by 5:00 p.m. CST on the dates listed below. Patterns are $5.00 each for a downloadable PDF (printed copies are available for an additional charge). They are available for purchase by following the links below!

THE PROJECT:

• The quilt will be a red and white, row-by-row project that will measure approximately 72″ x 84 ” when complete (there could be multiple variations in size depending on the sashing and borders you choose for your quilt).

• This is a “Mystery Quilt-Along!” This means exactly what it sounds like – the final quilt design and appearance are a secret and will be kept under lock and key until the very end!

• There are two layout options to choose from. One is a simple row-by-row quilt, while the other incorporates the “Santa Panel” from my “Dear Santa” fabric line as the middle. The choice is yours (you do not need to make a decision on which layout you’re going to do until the third block release)!

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS:

Fabric requirements to participate in the Scandinavian Christmas Quilt-Along are as follows:

YOUR “KIT” OPTIONS:

•This QAL allows you to “build” your quilt kit however it works best for you, depending on what you need and how your quilt to look. There are a couple of “kit options” for you to choose from. They are as follows:

– OPTION ONE – Red Fabric Bundle – $215.00: This convenient bundle includes all fabrics needed for the quilt blocks. It totals almost 15 yards of my “Dear Santa” fabric and the “Santa Panel” (does not include fabric for the background).

– OPTION TWO – Background Only – $45.00: In total, you will be needing five yards of background fabric to help create your blocks (if you would like to use the same fabric that I did (Porcelain 9900 182 Bella), we have that option available for you as well). *If you prefer to choose your own background or would rather use something from your stash, you will not need to purchase the background option.

– PLEASE NOTE: If you choose to put borders on your quilt, use a different size sashing, or to set your quilt differently than the quilt pattern is designed, you may need to purchase more background fabric at a later date (which is why we chose to use a Bella Solid).

– TRIANGLE PAPER – $21.00: I have put together a special Scandinavian Christmas Triangle Paper Packet (try saying THAT five times in a row!) for your convenience. The packet includes every type of triangle paper that you will need, plus a few extra sheets of each in case you make a boo-boo.

If you’re like me, every quilt-along I do has its own binder where I keep any information, patterns, notes, etc, because otherwise – I’ll inevitably lose something! That being said, I always appreciate it when the QAL host takes the time to design and provide a cover for my QAL binders because otherwise, that’s just one more thing I have to do before I start! So to make life easier for any likeminded binder-keepers out there, I had my graphic designer put one together that’s free for you to print and use however you like! Ahhh, you’re welcome. 🙂
