10 Festive Christmas Quilt Blocks

Decorating for Christmas is so much fun! My most precious holiday decorations are the handmade ones my children, family, and friends have created and given to me. A handmade Christmas quilt, table runner, or quilted wall hanging all make treasured presents to give to those you love. The problem is finding the perfect holiday quilt pattern that fits your level of skill. 



The problem of finding the right Christmas quilt block pattern has been solved! I scoured Pinterest looking for a variety of Christmas quilt patterns and I want to share what I found with you. Hopefully, this will save you time so you can get started sewing and quilting a handmade Christmas gift for the ones you love.

10 Festive Christmas Quilt Blocks


1. Christmas Tree Quilt Block

A Christmas tree, the most iconic symbol of this special holiday season makes for a wonderful quilt block. There are so many different ways to make a quilted Christmas tree but the one I liked best offers a simple tree pattern with swirling quilted stitches. I made this quilted Christmas tree into holiday ornaments that I gifted to friends and family. Find my complete tutorial for this project here: How To Make An Easy Quilted Christmas Tree Ornament



2. Santa Belly Quilted Pillow 

Give a gift your loved one can cuddle with all winter long - a Santa Belly Quilted Pillow! This Christmas quilt pattern by My Quilt Infatuation is clearly Santa's belly - belt, beard, and red coat. Use a fun Christmas print for the backside of the pillow to keep the holiday cheer coming.
