Seeking pattern for next Christmas
#1
I would like to make a Christmas theme quilt for my cousin for Christmas 2011. I like applique and piecing (but not paper piecing). I am planning to make it lap size. I'd be pleased if you share your ideas and/or pattern sources with me.

I am still working on Christmas 2009 :oops:
Anyways depending on what you want - for applique if you Google "coloring pages" and say "Christmas trees or Reindeer or whatever " you can use those for patterns

I recently saw a pattern in recent Quilt Maker I believe, or Quilter's World. It was a wall hanging and had an applique Christmas tree on it composed of ornaments. Now, I think it would be easy to make it a lap size quilt of the pattern by adding more rows of the ornaments increasing by one or two ornaments as you go down to the bottom of the tree. I think it would be fun to find all sorts of scraps for the ornaments. The pattern used wool, but you don't have to do that.

If you want a quick and easy lap quilt that can be done in a matter of hrs or few days...try the bargello on a larger scale...with Christmas fabric....I'll post some I've done just to give you ideas of what you can do....
