Four Christmas Quilts from One Fast Pattern (Fat Quarter Pile Up)

Hello, my quilty friends!

I made FOUR Christmas quilts with one of my go-to patterns, Fat Quarter Pile Up by Kaitlyn at Knot + Thread! 🎄 It's super fun and fast, and it just takes 12 fat quarters. I made a few of them for Christmas gifts.

Why it's a great Christmas gift quilt

It's fast. I made one of the quilt tops very early one morning. If you need a gift quilt in a hurry, this is the one.

It shows off big prints. The pieces are big, so those fun Christmas prints you love don't get chopped up.

Pick 12 fat quarters and go. Pull a mix of lights and darks in your favorite Christmas prints, and the pattern does the rest.

The four quilts

Gingerbread House. This was my least favorite fabric pull of the bunch, but it just might be my favorite quilt! The gingerbread house print is the best. (More about this one here.)

Nutcracker. Rifle Paper Co. Nutcracker prints, gnomes from Dear Stella and Amy Sinibaldi's Little Town prints. (More about this one here.)

Santa Deer. Aqua, pink and red with Santas and deer.

Sweaters & Snowflakes. Bright pinks, reds and greens.

Kaitlyn quilted all four for me, and every one is backed with cozy minky. They finish at 57" x 70".
