A Red, Green and Black Buffalo Plaid Christmas Quilt

Hello, my quilty friends!

I have officially lost track of how many Buffalo Plaid quilts I've made. 😂 But this red, green and black one might be my favorite yet.

It all started with a tile floor. Emily Belle Freeman (@emilybellefreeman) posted a photo of the floor at the John Johnson Farm in Ohio, and all I could see was a Christmas quilt. Red, green and black squares! I had to make it.

The fabric: Every square is Hole Punch Dot by Kimberly Kight (@kmelkight). I love the little white dots on the red, the green AND the black. 😍

The pattern: I used the tried & true Buffalo Plaid tutorial from Empty Bobbin (@emptybobbin). It's the one I go back to every time I make one of these, which is a lot. 🙋🏻‍♀️

The quilting: Kaitlyn (@knotandthread) quilted it with A Merry Lil' Christmas by Urban Elementz (@urban.elementz) in red thread, and I LOVE how it shows up on the black squares.

The finish: I backed it with black minky so it's SO cozy, and bound it in green. It finishes at 66" x 82", which is a perfect size for snuggling on the couch.

Want to see one of my other Buffalo Plaids? Here's the Rifle Paper version I made a while back.

And if you love a plaid Christmas quilt, my Patchwork Plaid quilt is made from 5" squares and the tutorial is FREE! Download the PDF and get started today. 🎄
