Christmas Crafts - Patchwork - Sewing Crafts - Christmas Wall Quilt / Wall Hanging

Create this lovely country style quilt in one weekend and decorate your walls with it for the holidays. The reindeer, mitten, stocking, tree, sled and star motifs are typical seasonal favorites and the quilt is made using only 3 colors of patchwork fabric. Of course, would it not be wonderful to have this as a bed quilt? Just continue making more blocks until you have enough to cover a bed and assemble as you would for the wall hanging (without the rod).

Instructions:

Cut the fabric:

- Fabric “A” - 30 x 30 blocks
- Fabric “B” - 12 pieces of 4 x 28 cm strips
  for the block borders
- Fabric “C” - 12 strips measuring 4 x 28 cm
  for the block borders, 1 strip measuring 5
  cm x 240 cm for the bias (border) and
  approximately a 75 x 52 piece for the
  backside*
- Batting - approximately a 75 x 52 cm piece*

Scrap pieces in all 3 colors for the appliques

* after sewing the 6 blocks together and ironing them, measure the length and width to get the exact size you need for the backside and for the batting!

The quilt is made very similar to this Spring Butterfly quilt and this Easter Patchwork Quilt

Print out each of the pattern pages so that they fit the printer paper. Transfer the markings on the back of the fusible web and iron on the appropriate fabrics. More here about fusing fabric

Cut 6 beige blocks 30 cm x 30 in size. Follow the tutorial here for the spring quilt >>> Step 1 - Creating the Appliques and Preparing the Blocks and replace the blocks and applications with these from this Christmas quilt.

Now you will want to assemble the blocks. Follow the tutorial here >>>
Step 2 - Sewing the Blocks Together

Now it is time for the final step >>> Step 3 - Adding the Binding, Stitching the Appliques and Adding the Hanging Loops

We added a rod to hanging the quilt instead of loops. To do this, sew the rod inside of the bias at the top before hand closing it and glue a wooden ball to each side.

How to Add Fusible Web to Fabric and Applique Fabric Motifs
Fusible web is like dry glue for fabric. If you need to applique one fabric piece to another, it is excellent to use. You will need an iron to heat up and activate the glue. Once the 2 fabrics are fused, you can continue stitching your applique without it moving around. Find out more in this step-by-step tutorial with pictures.

How to Make Patterns and Permanent Templates
You need patterns and templates mainly for sewing crafts, wood crafts and paper crafts. Creating permanent templates is easy and has a couple of advantages. First, if you wish to create the same project more than once you will save a lot of time because the template is already prepared. And second, if you are working with a group, the templates are durable and can be easily passed along to the next person. Permanent templates are especially useful when making crafts with children.
