It’s that time of year again, time to bring out my red quilt! I know it may be a bit early…but this quilt weights a ton and I just need it now ! Quilt pattern is below.
I’m very lucky to quilt with a small quilt and craft group every Monday. We sew, talk, laugh, solve a few of the world’s problems, and somehow manage to get a little quilting/crafting done.
Last spring, one of the quilters in our group announced, “I’m cleaning out my fabrics. What colors do you all want?” Well, you don’t have to ask me twice. I said, “Anything Christmas!”
I decided to make quilt for the holiday’s for our king size bed, and it turned out huge. A Log Cabin Christmas quilt for me! Most of the reds and black edging fabric I had. And here it is.
Machine pieced and long arm quilted.
It’s a bed spread quilt, loving it! It’s HUGE !
What is the easiest quilt pattern to make…a log cabin quilt block?
Or a 4-patch quilt block… they are BOTH here for you in one quilt block.

Quilting isn’t just about the finished piece; it’s about giving yourself time. When you start now, you’re not rushing in November, not scrambling in December, you’re enjoying the process one block at a time. A holiday quilt made slowly holds more than fabric… it holds the quiet moments, the steady stitching, and the peace of not being in a hurry.
