    Default My Thrifty Fabric Christmas Quilts

    I travel a great deal and buy much much fabric from thrift stores. Decided to use some of this fabric for Christmas quilts. They are rather simple quilts but turned out really pretty. Pictures do not do justice but I just wanted to show you what simple can look like. Even the backs are thrifty sheets. The white background fabric was bought at thrift stores too.

    My cat Shadow was taking a nap when I put the quilts on my bed to take pictures: he refused to get off so that dark lump on the top right is Shadow.



    Quilt # 1: Turning Twenty Quilt made with WalMart fabrics: Named "My WalMart Christmas"
    Quilt # 2: Simple 4 patch made with charms bought in a New Orleans thrift store, all Christmas designs
    Quilt # 3: Simple 4 patch made with just one fabric of the charms bought in New Oreans: poinsettia.
    Quilt # 4: Piece of Pie, Ashley's Journey made with Walmart fabrics.

    They are all beautiful, the second one is my favorite. I love simple designs especially just squares because you can see the beauty of the fabrics. I'm sure the recipients will all be honored to have these quilts.

    Your quilts looks great and one would never know you got the fabric at thrift stores. Nice to save money.
