Happy Christmas - Quilt Pattern

Sale price$12.95

Type: Downloadable PDF

I first wrote Happy Christmas back in 2017, and it's still one of my favorite quilts to pull out every December. One big scrappy Christmas tree with little red ornaments, a star in the corner and a few gifts underneath, all wrapped up in a candy cane border. 🎄

This new version is all freshened up! It now has my web chain piecing technique to speed things along, plus a mini size AND a brand-new Gingham version, where the tree turns into a green gingham check on a pink and red gingham background. 😍 The gingham background is strip pieced into four-patches, so it goes together fast.

The scrappy throw is fat quarter friendly, and if you prefer it even scrappier (like me!), there's a super scrappy yardage list so you can pull from your stash. It's written for merry beginners and up, with step-by-step diagrams the whole way through.

What's included

  • Scrappy throw: 72" x 81"
  • Scrappy mini: 28" x 32"
  • Gingham throw: 72" x 81"

The Downloadable PDF arrives right after checkout, with a download link on your order page and in your confirmation email.
