lots of Christmas fabric
 

I have lots of Christmas fabric and would like to make a queen size quilt - any ideas of patterns for a scrappy Christmas quilt? Happy New Year and happy quilting in 2015. Blessings to all

I saw one a number of years back that was a rag quilt made with pieces that were 3-1/2" by 7" and it was gorgeous. No pattern, just staggered pieces. It truly was beautiful. What about a D9P?

I made a Trip Around the World pattern out of my Christmas fat quarters (nudging into my yardage for the outer rings). I had a lot of fun making it.

I am saving Christmas fabrics for a scrappy Log Cabin. I love the look of the LC in red. And green.

I did Double Slice with Christmas fabric. It's a Jenny Doan pattern.

Do a crazy quilt.....fun........you can sash each square for control or just let it go CRAZY!!!!!!

I also have a lot of Christmas fabric--can't resist buying FQs they're so pretty. I could never come up with a pattern. What I do is use the Christmas fabric when I want to try out a new block pattern or if I just feel like sewing and don't have a project that I'm working on. I made about a dozen 4" blocks, some 12" blocks; I try to keep them in the same "multiple" of sizes. Over the course of a year I've made enough Christmas blocks to put together for a decent size quilt. I do mostly scrappy quilts anyhow--get bored making the same blocks over & over--so this works for me. It also gave me a nice break to make a Christmas block in July LOL.

How about a sampler? You could have fun with many different blocks. You could even play at different sizes and then get creative with the sashing. I can almost see it.

I'm wanting to do a shadow box quilt using Christmas fabrics.....may do two. But will do rectangles. :)

My go to pattern for any scrappy is a log cabin. Done in Christmas fabric it will be stunning.

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.....

Bargello? I have seen some beautiful quilts made with Christmas fabrics.

a friend has a boston common in christmas fabric that is awesome

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

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 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....

I've used Turning Twenty patterns to use up fat quarters. I have always been happy with the results and they aren't difficult.

Anita's Arrowhead (free online, just google) would be beautiful with a conistant white and then all of your wonderful Christmas prints. My guild did this pattern for our exchange blocks this year and it is a beautiful block.

I used Christmas scrapes in a snowball block. It came out beautiful

I use pieces of xmas fabric as a backing, this makes it a 2 sided quilt, I just cut pieces and sew them together

I just started a 'Chinese Coin' Quilt using Christmas scraps...

Here is an iphone picture of a quilt I saw in a Christmas movie. I then found the free pattern here http://www.favequilts.com/Throws-and...rom-Martingale
It would work great if you have lights and darks.

A friend of mine made a Pineapple quilt using Quiltville's pattern.

Could do a Dresden and log cabin around it! Would look like a large wreath!

I was going to suggest Pineapple Blossom from Quiltville as well...it would be lovely. Lots of her other patterns would be great as well, depending on the look you want and how complicated. Bricks and Stepping Stones & Majestic Mountain Majesties would be pretty easy. And I think anything with star blocks looks great for Christmas.

Here is Christmas Lights, a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt free on her site. You might like this. I did this one some time after the mystery. I need to get it quilted. [ATTACH=CONFIG]504889[/ATTACH]

Log cabin as they always turn out very pretty .. Or a 10 minute block.

Oh wow - there are so many - my favorite is a plain ordinary patchwork. Because I like to see a full piece of the Christmas fabric. Did I mention that I have over 200? Another one would be The Falling Charms pattern. I agree the Turning 20 would also be a good choice. When I did a Turning 20 with Halloween fabrics I framed each block and it high lighted the fabrics in the quilt instead of letting them all blend together.

Have fun with whatever you decide to make.

Thanks for all the great ideas. I'm going with the snowball block, it will show the fabric and definitely a winter design. I'm am not going to keep thinking about this and make some snowballs this week!!!!!
