I’m so happy to be releasing this pattern BEFORE Christmas! I got home from Quilt Market in October and was completely inspired! I had this idea to create a new Christmas quilt with lots of fun vintage colors. I knew I wanted deer in the quilt. I played around with some ideas and then created this! I love that it is whimsical and vintage feeling. It was fun to make a quilt with pinks, reds, greens, and aquas! All my favorites!
The quilt measures 68″ x 77″ which means its a great throw quilt size! I think I might hang mine 🙂
The pattern is a PDF download available in my Etsy shop.
The patterns is written in sections: the tree, the larges star, the deer blocks, the small sawtooth blocks, and the twirl star blocks. This makes it easy to do a quilt along or work on sections.
The deer appliqué is done with Heat n Bond Lite and then a straight stitch around the deer.
The star blocks are fun because you can use fabrics from your stash and make it super scrappy!
The Merry and Bright letters I totally cheated! It’s December after all – no time for tedious work! I used Heat n Bond Ultra for the letters which is a little heavier and stiffer than the Lite. Since the letters were thin I was willing to use the Ultra because that meant no sewing around each letter to secure! The all over quilting helps the appliqué blend right into the quilt! So if you’re afraid of letters don’t be!
I had the quilt quilted with an all over swirl and holly design and I’m super thrilled at how it turned out!!! I love it so much!!
