The Fat Quarter Shop provided a free Christmastime mystery quilt pattern last fall. I really enjoyed sewing the 4 blocks - Christmas cards, a mug, candies, and presents. (There was also a mystery cross stitch pattern that was adorable but I didn't stitch that.)
My quilt was made totally from stash fabrics and the quilt top was finished in October. The machine quilting is very simple stitch-in-the-ditch (or in close proximity to the ditch!) straight lines. Nothing fancy, but finished!
I love having little projects like this around the house during the holidays. I sewed a hanging sleeve so this could be a wallhanging. Or it could be an outdoor decoration.
Finished size: 23" x 27"
I don't know why I was so interested in finishing this Christmas quilt in February when my OMG was to work on a Valentine's quilt ?!?

There is no logic to creativity!

It’s done in plenty of time for this Christmas! Keep sewing! You still have time to work on the Valentine’s quilt!
ReplyDeletethat is cute and will really up the holiday decor
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful, you'll be very happy to display that for the holiday season.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat quilt finish--I love the Santa cup and saucer;)) hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteSo cute! And now it will be ready for next Christmas. Wonderful finish!
ReplyDeleteNice finish! One finish means you can start something new!
ReplyDeleteOh my! It's a lot smaller than I thought. Congrats on the finish, regardless of the time of year. It is very sweet. ;^)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on this finish, Kathy. I love how you made the cards block. I wish I had made mine just like yours. Lesson learned.
ReplyDeleteWell done!!!
That is such a sweet quilt - I think your quilting and the backing are perfect for it! That will be so fun to pull out and hang up when Christmas comes again!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful finish. Sometimes, simple is best.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing nicer than working on Christmas projects.
ReplyDeleteFabulous finish, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand. Sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do!!!!!It's lovely. I printed out the pattern but did the cross stitch instead and it is not a FFO. (Fully Finished Object) I need to find a frame or have one specially made. Soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, that's such a lovely quilt - all ready for next year!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so cute. I saved all the patterns, but ending up only using the cup block to make a couple of holiday mug rugs as gifts.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Kathy. Just think, your ahead of the game for Christmas 2023!!!
ReplyDeleteA very cute finish. And I loved your last statement--no logic to creativity. Amen to that!
ReplyDeleteChristmas comes anytime of the year. Thinking that the 25th of every month should be a Christmas sewing time. Gifts done way before December. Win win! Looks good.
ReplyDeleteWonderful finish! And the logic (she says as she also continues finish up her Christmas projects) is that the pressure is now off to have to push to get it done. Will make next Christmas that much more special!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt wants what the quilt wants. LOL Great job and ready for this year. I like the change in fabric for the cards block, so it stands out more.
