About Those Christmas Quilts

In my continuing quest to use up

the remaining Christmas fabrics,

I've decided to make what should be the last one.

Here you can see the cut up red scraps 

with the neutrals . . . 

And here you can see the cut up greens

along with a lot of neutral squares.

(and yes I did piece undersized bits together

in order to cut enough full-size squares)

Last year I made one of these Snowflake quilts

named EIRA (Welsh for "snow") - 

I gifted the top and back to Margaret in MO

who quilted/finished and loves it.

I'm going to make another version this year

using the pieces and parts shown above.

 

Time will tell if my radiating layout plan works.

If it doesn't, I'll use the greens and reds

to create a different kind of scrappy background.

It turns out that there will be a total of EIGHT quilts

made from that much-too-large stash of Christmas fabrics.

Three of them are finished:

Let it Snow 

'Tis the Season - Dumpster Diving IV - The Christmas Edition

Feliz Navidad

Two more are quilt tops waiting to be quilted:

Jingle Bells

Sleigh Ride

And the final three are cut out and ready to piece:

Merry and Bright 

(traditional rail fence kitchen table quilt)

Deck the Halls (snowballs)

Yuletide (this snowflake quilt)

You can read the posts related to each these

(except Sleigh Ride - there was no reveal post done)

by clicking on the Christmas Quilt label

in the list on my sidebar.

And, unless there is a very specific need

from someone very special,

I have NO plans to buy any more Christmas fabric!
