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.
