Yes, I'd also like to know where I can get the pattern. Is it one that can be purchased or shared? I'd love to make this Christmas quilt as a gift to myself as well.

Got these notes from Nancy's Notions. The marks should brush or wash out if not steam pressed. Good luck!

# Chalk powder
# Approx. 4" long with cap on (3-3/4" long without cap on)
# Tapered point for easy markings
# Allows accurate drawing of both straight lines and freehand curves with the fine point pen
# Makes lines and marks more visible and easy to use with a straight edge
# Do not use on fabrics that are not washable
# Ironing or dry-cleaning may make the marks permanent
# Easy replacement; simply unscrew from the pen style point

I really love this too!! You did a beautiful job on this! Also wondering if you can share where we can find this pattern? I love the applique around the blocks.

The pattern for the piecing is by Ann Weber and was featured in a Spring 2009 Magazine special issue by McCalls "America loves Scrap Quilts". It was called Countryside Star. I began it originally as a fall quilt and I was thinking "apples". When the piecing was done it shouted "Christmas". SO.... I started to look for Christmas motifs that I could use. Didn't like much of what I found so I sketched my own in the size that fit the blocks and then after much anguishing I designed the holly branches and ribbons that are in the borders.
