I’m so excited to share my new Christmas patchwork quilt! This is my first homemade Christmas quilt and I can’t wait to snuggle it all winter long!
As I am writing this, it’s August and I have my A/C blasting, but I knew if I wanted a Christmas quilt this year I needed to start early. Projects like this always slip away from me – so there is no better time to start sewing a Christmas throw! (And feel free to laugh at the flip flops in this photo! Apparently, I really need to do a shoe check before my husband and I go out to photograph, ha!)
This is the throw size of the Happy Patch Quilt Pattern, which is fun and simple to sew!
I used all Santa Clause Lane fabric. It’s a fun line and a total Christmas explosion! I love the Christmas lights, candy canes and golden Christmas trees!
I thought about using more of a background or base color to differentiate the Christmas fabric a little more, but ultimately decided the Christmas blast of red and green would be festive.
There are also some blues in this fabric line, but I stuck to the white, pink, red and green color ways. 
I picked the Happy Patch Pattern for the quilt because I feel like quilt stars are always Christmasy and it’s a simple quilt with a few larger pieces so you can really see the cute fabrics.
Santa Clause Lane is a fabric line by Melissa Mortenson for Riley Blake Designs. I used a stack of 1/2 yard cuts for this quilt but you can also use fat quarters.

I used a red and white gingham on the back and polka dot binding. I love how this quilt turned out and my kids are really excited about it, too!
I have another Christmas quilt in queue (will share soon hopefully!) but I’m still itching to make a Christmas version of the Coffee Cup Quilt Pattern! This block is free to download and it has warm hot chocolate vibes – can you imagine it with a red and white color theme!?

The quilt is adorable. I love the prints on the fabric. You are very talented.
Love your Christmas quilt! Purchased pattern. Went to your links to purchase fabric. Questions:
1) Pattern indicates 24 FQ’s. The link sells 21 in a stack…ughhh (Throw size)
2) You have gingham backing and a link. I have no idea how many yards to purchase (pattern has nothing regarding backing)
3) You have polka dot binding and a link. Once again, no idea how many yards to purchase (pattern has nothing regarding binding)
PS. This would be my first ever quilt, so the details are important!

At “calculator” you can choose either backing and batting, or binding, type in your measurements and it calculates how much of each you need.
Love it! I’m making it using the new Moda “Naughty or Nice” fabric…can’t wait to get started.
