I'm so excited to share a new quilt pattern with you today!
It's called Scrappy Holidays and it's available just in time for some festive holiday sewing! I love working on Christmas quilts when it's cold (and preferably snowing outside)! It's so cozy and sort of nostalgic in a way!

Scrappy Holidays finishes at 68" x 84" and is scrap-friendly.
The skill level is intermediate because there are some little pieces on the stockings and stars. Plus, there are some different triangles throughout. BUT, it's really not too bad, I promise!
When you make a stocking, (I think) you will be in love!
The patchwork is just so sweet!
And chain-piecing will make them go together pretty quickly!
I don't know which block I love more - the stockings or the trees - but both were fun to make.
Which one is your favorite?
Stars in the sashing posts add a little extra sparkle, don't you think?
I used 108" wide gingham fabric for the back. I don't do that very often. The selection for extra wide fabric isn't as great as 40" wide but this was perfect and it was so nice to not have to piece it together!
The quilting was done by my favorite, Jen Ostler in Highland, Utah. After much deliberation (I seriously couldn't decide on this one), I chose the Christmas Star pantograph by Natalia Majors for Intelligent Quilting. Jen was so patient with me, helping me find and discuss lots of ideas along the way. I am really happy with this panto and think Jen did an absolutely beautiful job. But she always does!
I'd love to hear what you think about my new pattern, Scrappy Holidays!
Thanks for stopping by today!
