Hashtag Christmas

When I saw this pattern from Cluck Cluck Sew, I immediately thought it would make a great scrappy Christmas quilt.

I made a different scrappy Christmas quilt in 2018 

And I thought it was time to make another and hopefully whittle down my Christmas fabrics a little.

I like that the pieces in this block are big enough to show the fabrics.

The white is a white on white print from my fabric pantry called Architextures.

I made the first block in January and finally pieced it all together and handed it off to Jackie and Sandy in August. The fun quilting design called Holly Ribbon is perfect and shows so nicely on the Minky I used on the back

The fabric I used for the binding is from my pantry too...it was $2.00 / yd at a quilt shop that was closing probably 10 years ago and I bought what was on the bolt...probably about 8 yards. 

I really like this pattern and I think I now need flannel, western, and fall versions. At 75" x 85", it'll be a great cuddle quilt. 

The kids can decide which one they want. As soon as I hung the quilt out on the deck, it began to snow

It was 44 out, too warm to stick

The flakes were itty-bitty

                                                     

           

And the sun was shining through the clouds

It makes me happy that the kids request and enjoy and use the quilts. One day they will be saturated, but they haven't reached that point yet! 😉
