Christmas Scrap Buster Quilt

 I had lots of pieces of Christmas fabric and white on white leftovers which I converted into 2 1/2" squares.  With some creative arrangements I was able to make this charming quilt for my daughter & son-in-law.  It's lovely, even while not glaringly "Christmas".

This pattern used 32 Christmas squares and 32 white on white squares for each of the 9 main blocks.  A great way to use up those scraps!! 

Then 8 Christmas squares, 8 white on white squares, 2 strips of  8 1/2" x 4 1/2" and 2 strips of  16 1/2" x 4 1/2" for each of the 4 middle blocks.  

I added large white triangles around the edges to fill in the "on pointe" look.  I added a border on each end which used up lots more Christmas squares and produced the dimensions I wanted.  

An edge-to-edge all-over curlicue quilting stitch finished this quilt beautifully.

Sew Much Fun!
