Default Good patterns for Christmas quilts

I am definitely not making one for this year, but have a stash of Christmas fabrics and want to start bed quilts for next year. I am looking for suggestions for patterns for red and green quilts, or patterns that you loved making for Christmas.
Thanks

A friend of mine made a Christmas quilt using a 3-6-9 pattern. Another used a disappearing 9-patch. Both are quick and easy patterns and the quilts were beautiful.

I'm into applique so I'd take that route...either a Christmas Balt Quilt or Applique a Christmas village using all those pretty fabrics.

I have 2 UFO Christmas quilts to finish and still have a lot of Christmas fabric. I sure don't need to buy any more.

When I think of Christmas I guess I alway lean towards the traditional type patterns......Ohio Star, Dresden Plate, Bear Paw or I think even a Double Wedding Ring would be pretty esp. if you had lots of smaller scale prints.

sewmuch2luv had a really cute table topper that I think would be really nice as a wallhanging or quilt. It is basically the snowball papern with some added features. The title of the post is "Delightful" table topper. If you put the title in the search bar it will show where to find it. I don't know how to do a direct link. Sorry.

Thank you for your suggestions. I like the idea of a big center block quilt like Amandasgramma showed and snowball blocks as ornament blocks like in the "Delightful" table topper pattern, but then I like traditional blocks too. Lots of ideas.
