I was contacted by another quilter asking if I have a pattern for my Christmas Quilt because she wanted to make one like it. How sweet is that?! I have never written a quilt pattern, but thought I would put together a tutorial and try my hand at writing a pattern so I could help her out. So I created a tutorial/pattern for this Christmas quilt. A "tut-tern" or "pat-torial" - LOL.
I should start off my saying that I am a scrap quilter. My stash consists primarily of fat quarters. I only buy yardage of solid white, gray etc. for backgrounds .When I need more I go buy a couple of yards.
All this is to say that estimating the yardage requirements for this quilt is a little difficult for me. I looked at some quilt fabric calculators online but they all seemed to be for quilts based on blocks that repeat. So I will do my best, but if you try this quilt please be aware that my fabric calculations may be off. :)
After some trial and error with creating a pdf download, I have decided to write this as a tutorial here on the blog. Look for the tutorial in the upcoming post!
If you try it I'd love to see your quilt. And if you find any mistakes please let me know so I can update it.
Feel free to email me with any questions.
Enjoy!
