A couple changes from the original plan.
--I added sashing on the outside of the blocks. (Original has only interior sashing)
--scrambled the blocks in a different layout. Next Christmas our grandkids can find the block with 1 piece, the block with 2 pieces, the block with 3 pieces, etc.
As it has a Christmas theme, I used Civil War era red and green repro fabrics. I chose the two border fabrics first and went from there, using scraps for most of the 3" blocks.
NOTE: The bottom border looks uneven in the photo. It's actually nice and straight.
I'm working on part 2 of my Pink Lemonade blocks. Lori is taking it nice and slow so we can keep up.

Very cute in the Christmas fabs!
I like how you mixed up the blocks and the kids can search for the blocks. I love it.
We did the same things to our 12 Days quilts--mixing blocks and border all around. I also added a second inner border. Will probably post about it tomorrow.
I love your Christmas colors in repro fabrics. Very nice result!
Now I need to go sew up parts 1 & 2 of pink lemonade. Just finished cutting it all. Glad Lori is taking it slowly for my sake! : )
I like the sashing all around the blocks very much, Vivian! How fun to make this mini a "teaching" quilt :) My whole blocks are done and I hope to get my half blocks at least cut tomorrow night. Work work work is taking all my time!
That is a clever idea for the blocks and well done on finishing a lovely quilt.
GREAT fabric choices....I am starting my Pink Lemonade blocks today!
I am glad she is taking it slow so I can catch up!

Very nice Vivian! Love the red and green theme.
If I go back and do this 12 Days I want to do it like yours- Reds and greens and mixing up the blocks! Love it!
I loved that pattern and downloaded it but wasn't sure if I wanted it in Xmas colors or not.
I love your version and thank you for giving me something to compare to the original!
I love your version. And you are clever to mix it up so the grandkids can find the right day. Cute, cute, cute.
