Wouldn’t it be great to have a Christmasy quilt to put on your bed for the holidays? Hey, you’ve got nearly a month to make that happen! Well, maybe for next year.

Many generous quilt designers post free patterns online. I’ve collected a baker’s dozen of some of the prettiest Christmas quilts on the web. Some are traditional, and some are more modern.

These quilts are from AllPeopleQuilt.com (Sorry, I was unable to copy the photos; you’ll have to click the links to see the beautiful pictures):

• Christmas Geese
• Patchwork Pines
• Deck the Halls
• Ruby Reds
• Twin Stars
• Festival of Trees
• Holly Jolly Christmas Quilt

Peppermint Pinwheel tutorial. The directions are free, but you’ll need a Dresden Plate ruler (which is nice to have—I have one!)

No Point Stars.

Can you keep a secret? I’m working on the Holly Jolly quilt; I won’t tell you for whom. I hope I can get it done in time to mail!
