Love all the flavors of patriotism together!
I’m making a throw quilt out of Christmas fabrics for one of my sisters. Thanks.
Loved the contest. One day I want to make a patriotic quilt for my father.
Have started to make small bags to have when I need that quick gift around the holidays. Have a few quilts ready to go to the quilter that may become Christmas presents, have to wait and see.
No, I haven’t started yet!!! But I have a Christmas quilt for myself on my list!
No I have not started Christmas quilty things and the way things go…. it will be December before we know it. I have things from last year that did not get completed!
These are all beautiful. Very hard to choose only 3. I have started Christmas by making 2 paper pieced quilts following the Dr Who QAL that Whims & Fancies and Trillium Designs are co-hosting.
I have started a Christmas quilt for one of my twin grandson, the other will follow, so colorful :)
omgggggggggggg did’t start anything for christmas yet…………I know there are only 5 months left *sigh*
I haven’t started a new Christmas quilt yet, but I hope I can finish the one I started last year! It’s a nine-patch, my first quilt.
I’m working on a t-shirt quilt as a surprise for my niece for Christmas and getting ready to make myself a Christmas Dresden quilt.
No I have not started a Christmas quilt.
I have to just do the quilting on a bed quilt I made for my 96 yo grandma but that is it so far.
I have started them because I have not finished what I started last year. LOL! I do Christmas all year round. :-)
I’m a big time procrastinator when it comes to Christmas Quilts. Only can use for a couple of months, I don’t like the pressure of a deadline etc. Maybe I can find a mini quilt pattern for Christmas. I might be able to get something like that done in time for this years or maybe next year.
Oh, no have not even begun.

Oh my gosh yes, I’m so slow on my own stuff it takes me a couple of years to get a quilt done! I have made the grandkids’ summer clothes & pillow cases, but the quilts are just UFO’s right now..more U than F, for sure!
I did get a couple of snowmen wallhangings made – I’m gonna trade the piecing for equal amount of quilting – win/win, wouldn’t you say?
got my fabric but looking for a pattern
No. haven’t started any yet, I’ve got the fabric for a couple just can’t decide what pattern to use. Thank you for the great giveaways. :)
No no Christmas sewing, just finished a Patriotic flag for July.
No Christmas quilt, lots of other quilting ;-)
I plan to start Christmas projects next week. I plan to make a spiral table runner and then some napkins for the Christmas placemats I made earlier this year.
I’ve gotten as far as buying one pattern and downloading two others. Also have a tree skirt pattern that I want to crochet.
I haven’t started anything yet–getting my craft/sewing room organized so I can find everything I need!
I have stitched 3 ornaments and contributed some card designs for World of Charity Stitching. I have ambitions of doing a large piece for my husband for Christmas, but I haven’t decided which one yet.
Was tough to pick out this time. I had to go through the pictures twice before I could make up my ming.
Re: Christmas. I have 3 rail fence quilts I need to get cut out, I have the fabric all picked just haven’t had the time to cut. Plus working on a cross stitch table runner.
Love the patriotic quilts! I wish I’d make one myself!
great quilts!
working on friendship quilt for now
I started right after Christmas working on “Apple Crisp” using all the Christmas fabrics I had in my stash. This was a quilt from an October 2010 magazine designed by Jangaller. I have also made two “Bear Paw Christmas” quilts for myself and our daughters MIL. Love having quilty things to give as gifts.
I just finished two baby quilts and am working on a red. white, and blue quilt – a little late for Independence Day!
No, haven’t started anything at all for Christmas. We have been too busy packing moving and unpacking. Maybe next year.
Norm’s Memories with the paratrooper – I’d use all three votes on that one if I could! Lovely!!
As for Christmas, I have fabric in hand but haven’t decided on a pattern yet. I am scouring the internet looking for inspiration!
Yes, I’ve made a Christmas quilt. It’s Christmas colors, but not theme specific, so it can be used year round. Just can’t decide who it will be given to!
When I look at The Old Fashioned: Red, White, and Blue, love just comes to mind, it looks like a lot of love and time went into creating such a beautiful quilt.
Does pulling out Christmas fabric count ;) The easy part is finding the fabric, hard part is deciding on a pattern :)
I have not started any Christmas quilts yet.
I LOVE Christmas, I try to make one every year, but alas I haven’t started this year’s one yet as we have been packing and moving!
Sorry to say…no way! I am in the midst of doing home improvement projects. Maybe starting in October.
Whew, Christmas? NO!! I’m trying to catch up on my must-do summer projects!! Wish I was caught up as I would love to do a Christmas project (to cool me off!)
The creativity of the patriotic quilts is impressive.
I’m working on 3 snowmen quilts, one for each of my daughters and myself. Started them last year. Hope to finish them in time for Xmas.
I still haven’t recovered from LAST Christmas. I need to finish things that I started, but there are so many projects to make, I can’t decide. I think I have senior ADHD. You’d think so too if you followed me around for a day. I am working on baby quilts now, then a nice throw for my daughter-in-love
Not making gifts this year. Spent too many weeks unable to do any work.
Have started fabric bowls. Think I need 24 of them….or 24sets. Will depend on time. I also have a wedding quilt to finish in the same time line. Plus keep up 2 bom. Busy times
Want to get a diamond log cabin tree skirt finished before I start another Christmas project. I love all the patriotic quilts and have voted for three…but it was difficult to choose only three!
No, I haven’t started any Christmas projects.
!!Preciosos quilts!
HELLO, I HAVEN’T DONE A LOT;DO HAVE ONE SET OF CHRISTMAS PLACE MATS FINISHED AND ANOTHER QUILTED THROW STARTED. HAPPY STITCHING!
