I have a ton of Christmas fabrics...need suggestions on what to make
 

I have a ton of Christmas fabrics that I've collected over time and want to do something with them now...I'm looking for suggestions for quick and easy projects or quilt patterns so I can reduce my stash of the Holiday themed fabrics. Suggestions?

I used Christmas fabrics in a Smith Street machine applique pattern (quilt) mixed the Christmas with Oriental prints - turned out beautiful. Nancy Halvorson has a new book every year with Christmas ideas - from small to large. Her books include stockings, table runners, towels, and much more.

I have this all done except for the swag borders and some nagging little 9 patches! The boxes are pieced (fast) and the bows are fused (fast!).

Pillow cases (kids love them made from Christmas fabric), throw pillows, tote bags, pot holders, place mats, mug rugs, and of course quilts. You could also make gift bags.

Here are several patterns: http://www.favequilts.com/Christmas-Projects
and a search on Pinterest gives a 'truckload ' LOL of inspiration, lots also with links to free patterns

Have fun!

Table runners, gift bags for wonky-shaped gifts that don't wrap easily, tea towel embellishers.

I made my kids each a Christmas quilt this year. Also table toppers, runners, cloths (now that is easy exemplified) and talbe mats for each person a variety of prints easy presto. say nine patches or such.. then there are aprons I love aprons myself. wall hangings, even just a bunch of say 3.5" squares would make such a colorful and pretty thing to enjoy when you walk by. you failed to mention is it tons of yardage or is it tons of fqs? I collect Christmas fabric. Another option is to sell it right here on the quilting board the fabrics your not as fond of as when you first bought them. one mans junk is another mans treasure thing :) I have a patchwork quilt random blocks made out of red/white and green Christmas fabrics only that I am working on. We had a quilt a long in the block of the month section where you did two blocks a week that the group decided on.. I was working with that with my blocks. used up a ton of Christmas scraps :) one can never ever have to much Christmas fabric btw.

ps I have sign ups coming up Oct 1st for a brand new Christmas table runner swap. would use up a bit of that fabric rather nicely too. quick easy fun.. you should join us!

use them to make a wall hanging with pockets for a countdown to the holidays

It seemed like I had a million 10" Raggedy Ann and Santa precision cut squares from Daisy Kingdom so I combined them with 2.5" strips for 9 patches. Cut the work in half and were really cute...did a bunch for charity and family. Still have some lurking around somewhere.
