How about Prickly Pear by Cozy Quilts https://www.cozyquilt.com/Aspx/Produ...productID=2918 I have most of Cozy Quilts patterns. Watch the video on that page they used Christmas Fabric. This pattern also looks great in batiks.....

Thanks for the suggestions. I love the idea of a scrappy log cabin. Would each square be completely different - I can't visual it. Would the light side always be the same?

If you can't visual it google pictures of scrappy log cabin quilts

Oh! Oh! Oh! Mahalo for posting the link to this striking quilt.

I also collect Christmas fabric and was going to do another Log Cabin but Prickly Pear is now at the top of the Christmas Fabric DO IT List!!!!!

I did jellyroll quilts and app a tree on them. I love piecework with appliques on top. how about a random 9 patch with a cute app on it for added character.

I make every single block different using my design wall to audition the blocks as I build them.

With Christmas fabrics, I'd do one half reds and the other half greens. Just watch that the outside edges are contrasting values

I make my log cabins using Judy Martin's method of cutting all the strips in advance. I cut lots and lots and lots of extras. If there's a block or two that just doesn't work, there's plenty of leftovers to make another block.

I'll add that I build six blocks at a time on the design wall and then chain piece.

BUT take a photo before starting to sew! How many times has the phone rung/doorbell chimed/cat demanded new crunchies in their bowl and I've been left wondering what goes where?

I stitched a top before Christmas called River Trees. I still need to quilt it. If you have homespuns or plaids, it would look nice. Here is the link:

Here's a triple Irish chain I did with Christmas fabrics... it's throw size, but you can just make it bigger....
