If you are feeling adventurous you can make your own using quilt blocks from quilter's cache. http://www.quilterscache.com/QuiltBlocksGalore.html

You just have to make sure your blocks have a common denominator, usually 3 because so many blocks finish at 12". You can make 3", 6" and 9" blocks to go with the 12" and piece together and no reason you can't go bigger on some like 15" or 18". Do not under estimate the power of filling strips and units like a FG unit that is evenly divisable by 3 (if that is the number you choose). Graph paper is your friend in these cases.

Did you see the sampler that Moda did last year?
You can find all the blocks here.

Check out the Turning Twenty books. They have several patterns that use various sizes of square and rectangular shaped blocks, and by adding a border or two, you can have a generous queen sized quilt.

I used one of their patterns, and instead of merely fabric, I used Christmas redwork type machine embroidery designs in several of the blocks, and also used primarily quilter's flannel for the remaining blocks. It was backed with flannel and my daughter uses it every Christmas!

Moda Bakeshop is doing a Christmas countdown. There will be 25 blocks of
different size.

Great suggestion!!! Thanks so much.

I did this one last year and I loved it! The directions were excellent. http://www.happyquiltingmelissa.com/...-along_30.html

I collected so many fabrics for this quilt that I think I've decided to make this one with all the leftover fabrics. https://smile.amazon.com/Its-Sew-Emm...s%2C193&sr=8-1

Stunning quilt pattern. I think I will bookmark that one for awhile. Thanks for sharing.

This is perfect for me because I have elected to not do Bonnie Hunter for the first time in years.

This is a quilt for a nephew who wanted one for his wife. Hope it will show up.

Please try again. May need to reduce the size?
