Our guild did this block for a November BOM a few years ago when Jenn McMillan was the BOM coordinator (I didn't win) and I figured that we could all use another shot at such a great holiday quilt!
Here's the link to Amy's block tutorial (and also directions for how to finish the quilt when you win all the blocks! So helpful!):

Colours for this month are what I'm calling "Christmas plus" or "Modern Christmas." So we've got the classic red-green-white trio, but we can also explore other aspects of that colour combination (grey, light green, pink, fuschia, etc.). Feel free to also throw in some turquoise (my favourite!), light blue, maybe even a purple here or there! Whatever feels like a modern interpretation of "holiday" to you! You can use solids and prints, and don't feel like you have to use exclusively Christmas-themed fabrics. Let's stretch ourselves and see what happens!
Amy's tutorial is set up to make these blocks two at a time, so maybe we'll have enough blocks for two draws???
Feel free to share a photo of your blocks on social media. The hashtag to use is #ottmqgBOM. I'm excited to see our little forest in November!
