I purchased this non-traditional Christmas file from Embroidery Library and built the quilt around their suggested colors. I wanted a Christmas Quilt for my office, but not necessarily in traditional colors. It has a wrap around block on the leading edge, a scrappy binding and an asymmetrical placement of the 26 inch star blocks. This little quilt kept growing from a single test block I liked to what was to be a lap robe to a Queen size quilt. 2 years ago I made this quilt in 3 weeks! It was a pleasure to make this one!

I used a variety of Christmas prints and love the simple yet elegant look of this design. This pattern is in Eleanor Burns’ book “Still Stripping After 25 Years.” I worked for her at her Quilt in a Day San Marcos store for 6 years, & I made this quilt as a sample to display in the store.

My motto….When there is a will, there is a way. I was using this advice before the youtube video as I figured it out along the way. For those of you who have tremendous stashes, she gives very good advice. I came across this tidbit in this youtube video called “sew up your stash, by Karen Brown” of Just Get it Done Quilts.
