Christmas Block Exchange is coming up...ideas?
Our guild has a Christmas block exchange. The size has to be 12.5" square unfinished. The maker is asked to sign and date their block. A member will give out the wrapped blocks. The blocks are unwrapped one by one for all to see. Sew much fun! Here are a few blocks I have made in the past.
If you have an idea for a 12.5" block for Christmas, please show me your block and/or link to your pattern! Thank you!
Ps. I forgot to add that the block can be made of Christmas fabric but not a Christmas theme..like a pinwheel.

Here is a site with 12 cute Christmas themed blocks, with instructions for all of them. I especially like the poinsettia one.

Sorry for the confusion..
We can make any quilt block using Christmas fabrics. For example: a pinwheel or square in a square block using Christmas fabrics. The other option is to make a Christmas theme (Snowman, Christmas tree, Reindeer etc.) using any fabrics you wish.

Those are nice blocks and I think you could make any block with Christmas fabric and then you could just make it the size you need. Even a Churn Dash quilt block with a fussy cut snowman or Christmas tree in the center would be cute.
Platyhiker-thank you for the site of the cute blocks. I especially like the reindeer block.
