Step 4: Sew the Sleeves onto the sides of the feature block unit. Sew the (HJ) rectangle on top. Draw a diagonal line across the wrong side of the (K) squares and place them on the corners. Sew along the diagonal lines, as shown in red. Trim a 1/4″ seam and press open.
Don’t forget!!! You can use the cut off corners when following the shoulder instructions in Step #4 to make these bonus 2.5″ half square triangles! I cut first and then sew along the cut edge to make mine. But you could also sew a seam 1/2″ away from your diagonal seam at the same time. And then cut between the two seams.
You can click here to go to the Ugly Christmas Sweaters Quilt Along page for all the details. On that page you will find the layouts and quilt sizes and also see the full schedule.
A quilt along is always more fun than quilting alone.

Hi Lorna! I just wanted to check that the dimensions for the Christmas Stocking piece were correct. I cut them all to the correct size, but the A+D piece is much larger than the A+B+C piece. A+B+C comes out 5.5 inches wide and A+D comes out 6.5 inches wide. I think the D dimension 5.5 inches is wrong? Could you let me know?
You are so right, Laurel! I have updated the chart to include the correct dimensions for the D piece which should measure 3.5\” x 4.5\”Thank you!
