Uses for my Christmas Fabric stash

I need some ideas to help use up my stash of Christmas fabric. I thought I saw a Thread about it earlier but now I can't find it. I know I will make some of the fabric boxes! I can't believe the amount of Christmas fabric that I discovered today while working in my sewing room. Any quick to cut and sew quilt patterns? Thanks!

All kinds of fun things you can make - place mats, table runners, wall hangings, totes, vests, Christmas stockings, gift bags, boxes, bowls . . .

How about a Log Cabin Diamond tree skirt or patchwork Christmas stockings or a mantle scarf? If you have green and red you can do the Poinsettia tablerunner from my QB tutorial Faux Flowers. The fabric boxes will look cute in Christmas fabrics.

How about gift bags, save paper and go green. Reusable.

I had the same question. I have to 13 gal trash bag full of Christmas fabric. I've made pillow cases, table runner and wall quilts. But don't look it put a dent in my collection.

A few years back Eleanor Burns published a book called "Christmas at Bearpaw Ranch", I purchased it and it has 28 ideas to use your Christmas scraps. I love it.
