Crazy Christmas Quilt
43 1/2"x53 1/2"
2 Crazy 8 Charm Packs by Sandy Gervais for Moda fabrics
1 Wheat Flour Jelly Roll by Moda fabrics
1/4 Yard binding material
1 3/4 Yards backing material or scraps
Sort fabrics:

for applique flowers you will need ~
10 Red Charm Squares
2 Pink Charm Squares
2 Ivory Charm Squares
For Corner blocks you will need 13 Ivory charm squares.
All remaining charm squares will be used in background.
Cutting:





From your Wheat Flour Jelly Roll cut 90 2 1/2"x5" rectangles.
Cut the 13 Ivory Charm Squares into halves.
Then cut in half again creating 50 - 2 1/2"x2 1/2" squares.
Sewing:



Stitch Whet 2 1/2"x5" rectangles to one side of forty of the remaining charm squares.
Stitch the 2 1/2" Ivory squares to one end of each of the remaining 2 1/2"x5" Wheat rectangles.
Using the image below lay out and sew the quilt top together.
Square up the edges of the top.
I used my ruled and cut 1/4" out from the corner points.
Now you'll have a square top. Using your Wheat Flour Jelly Roll strips add a 2 1/2" border all the way around the quilt.
Cut out from your Red charm squares 10 poinsettia petals.
Also from your pink charm squares cut 2 Large circles for flower centers. From 2 Ivory charm squares cut two smaller circles for your flower centers. Lay the poinsettias on the quilt and applique.
We chose to applique by machine using a blanket stitch.
Quilt, Bind and enjoy!

ReplyDeleteIs there a "pattern" available for printout of the poinsettia petals? Some of us are not good at freehand drawing and sizing.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Suze-

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lovely tutorial...I have put a link to you on my freebies blog...Khris
ReplyDeleteThere is no mention of a border or border fabric...? I do believe that your finished photos show an outborder, however?
ReplyDeleteI did as pictured and ended up with a rough measurement of 38x45 and I was looking for the 43.5x53.5. Please advise.
Thanks,

I think this is the border instruction, which is stated above in one of her steps: "Using your Wheat Flour Jelly Roll strips add a 2 1/2" border all the way around the quilt."
