Vintage Christmas

19 comments
It's not too late to start a Christmas quilt, right?  I'm so susceptible to quilting peer pressure.  I've been watching so many bloggers make Camille's Vintage Christmas quilt pattern.  I keep thinking, oh!, that looks so fun.  But when I saw Sherri make it, I totally caved.  This is fun sewing at it's best.  The blocks are big and easy and jelly roll friendly.  It really is such a fun quilt.
I used Cosmo Cricket's Dear Mr. Claus for most of the blocks with a little bit of stash thrown in.  My white fabric is Pam's wreath print white on white from her first line.  I love the wreaths.
My blocks are sew cute.  I only spent a few hours over the weekend and I got 6 blocks (half the pattern) completed.
I threw in a bit of Riley Blake Alpine Wonderland for one of the blocks above.  I have a few fat quarters of that line.  It makes me want to make 2 of these quilts.  I'm thinking this would be a fantastic project for my sisters and nieces to make in 2013.  It is a great beginner project and fun for all quilting levels. (Just a tip:  If you have a friend you can split a jelly roll with just a few adjustments, add white fabric and a border fabric for this quilt.)

It's got to go on my someday list, but I agree, this one is a must. Especially when you can fussy cut the centers :)

I made mine in September during my 'sewing month craze' and thoroughly enjoyed making it. I love yours in those prints - very vintage.

On man, you've just made up my mind for me to make this quilt in that fabric. I might even have, um, a little of it stashed for a rainy day. Or a snowy day. Or a project like this. Thanks for showing me how fantastic it looks in Dear Mr Claus!

Oh girl! You may be responsible for pushing me over the cliff!! I love Sherri's ornament quilt and am swooning over yours now! This pattern is on my list for 2013. I don't have time right now, but I would love to give it a go after the 1st. After all my Christmas sewing, Lori's quilt along is top of the list. :0)
