I have made two Christmas quilts using lots of different theme fabrics. Both quilts done in 9-patch used 27 different Christmas designs, set with red sashing. Those funny little slightly off colors play together when mixed with a bunch of others. I now have my Christmas stash built up again for another quilt. I found a bunch of the Christmas fabrics at yard sales this past summer. I have a goal to for 2010. Isn't it fun gathering for a project?
