There's a Christmas Quilt Show going on over at Michele Hester's: http://www.quilting-tutorials.blogspot.com/p/2012-christmas-quilt-show.html
. Have wanted to join this for a couple years but never remember to get it done. This year I saw an email about it, so decided to add my quilt from a year or so ago. I found a book with over 300 block ideas for Christmas and made a lot of blocks from those pictures and directions; also made some extras found online or made up such as the candy cane one.

| Finished quilt...obviously not symmetrical, but it's how it came together considering all the different sized blocks I ended up with!! The three large red squares have Christmas sayings, plus the red border and dividing pieces have some wording on them--like my grandchildren's names. |
 |
| Backing--just kept growing and growing with scraps I had left over. Got a Kate Spain Christmas fabric layer cake in 2010 I think and had lots of fun making up blocks. Most are from a book already mentioned on here: 301 Country Christmas Quilt Blocks by Cheri Saffiote, printed 2002. |

| One of my absolute favorite squares. |
 |
| Made several star blocks using fussy-cut pieces for centers. |
 |
| Love this little angel block. Ended up making a lot of blocks and have several left overs need to make into something small. |
 |
| My daughter says this is her favorite...he's pretty cute I think, too. |
