i would suggest this also. i made one in christmas fabrics without batting and decorated the seams with red rickrack.

The 10 minute table runner would be really nice or how about different blocks made into hot pads?

I think you are sweet and people like you make the holidays truly meaningful. That said, I like the one already mentioned here from the quiltbug. You could chain piece them and use in the center square a holiday scenic print if you so choose. As another stated great time to shop for fabric with all the sales.

use white on white fabric and steam a seam.... mount, cut any 'snowflake' (like we did in school) and then iron onto any color background you like...the steam a seam will help with the opacity and then you can just iron on, FMQ around the outside and done.... more cutting than sewing, UNLESS you want to find someone (or a store that rents) in your area with one of those cutting machines...i'm sure they have snowflakes...

Our Hobby Lobby has all their Christmas fabric on sale at 50% off and probably will go down to 70% off next week. You might want to watch that for fabric.

I love the 10 minute table runners. I have made quite a few and love figuring the color combo's. quick and easy. I don't use batting or quilt. I do starch when I do my final pressing (Mary Ellen's Best Press);

I checked this pattern out and I love it. Like you said I have plenty of leftovers from the dresden plates. Thank you for your great idea.
