Found this awhile back at the thrift store. It was all stuffed in a plastic bag and looked like it a completed block (SO I assumed there were more), perhaps a log cabin and definitely Christmas prints. Kind of hard to tell, but for $1.50 - it was MINE! I was so thrilled at the price, so pretty much whatever was in the bag was going to make me happy.
There was one completed block and enough strips already cut to complete 15 more blocks. I had to rummage through my stash for some red for the center of the final 2 blocks - as you can see that search was successful. There's even a piece of the green with red holly berries large enough for the backing! I'm going to add a red binding and there's my Christmas lap quilt. Blocks are about 11-1/2" square, so quilt is about 54" square - nice lap warmer for the winter.

Just need to add backing & binding.

Interesting how different it looks by just turning it to the side.
