10+ Cute Christmas Quilts Projects
More than ten cute Christmas Quilts and quilted projects created with Santa Claus Lane fabrics. A bright, fun, vintage-inspired Christmas Fabric line that I hope you will love.
About Santa Claus Lane Fabric
Ever since I started designing fabric, I’ve wanted to create a Christmas-themed line. I love the Christmas aesthetic of the ’40s and ’50s and thought it would be fun to create a modern version of Christmas fabrics from that era.
I started designing this line 5 years ago and worked on it a little bit at a time until I designed a few prints that I liked. Once I had a couple of prints that I liked, the process started picking up speed, and I was able to submit it to Riley Blake a few years ago.
The line, manufactured by Riley Blake Designs, hit stores in June and July of this year and is available in specialty quilt and sewing shops around the world.
The line includes 7 prints in 3 colorways, for a total of 21 prints. It also offers 2 Christmas Stocking panels and 2 pillow panels.
Christmas Quilt Patterns
Here are three quilt patterns designed to work with the fabric collection. However, you can use them with any Christmas fabric collection that you like!
All of the patterns are currently available in both print and PDF formats in the shop. You may also be able to find them at your local quilt shop.
Santa’s Hat Shop Quilt Pattern
The first is my Santa’s Hat Shop pattern. Here, it’s shown with a green sparkle background. We will be making this quilt as part of a quilt-along starting in September! I’ll even film a few videos to help you out as you construct your quilt. Keep an eye out here for the announcement and quilt-along schedule.
Letterboard Quilt Pattern
Spell almost anything you’d like with our Letterboard Quilt Pattern. This pattern version is made with 10″ precut stacks of fabric. The pattern comes with the entire alphabet, so you can spell whatever you’d like on your quilt. Here are a couple of suggestions.
Let’s Stay Home Quilt Pattern
Our Let’s Stay Home Quilt pattern was part of our Summer 2019 quilt along. It features rows of house and star quilt blocks. It’s really fun to construct, and there is even a series of videos to help you out!
Picnic Crossing Quilt Pattern
The Picnic Crossing quilt pattern features oversized Goose Tracks quilt blocks set in a modern way. The top and bottom borders allow you to incorporate some of your favorite novelty Christmas fabrics.
Additional Quilted Christmas Projects
There have been many adorable sewing and quilting projects popping up with the fabric. I wanted to share a few of those with you.
One. Striped Quilt & Candy Cane Pillow
Santa Claus Quilt & Pillow by Jessica Dayon
Jessica created two projects with the fabric. The first one is this fantastic quilt. She shares how she made it on her blog. It’s just made up of a center rectangle and alternating-size borders! It’s so genius. I love how she also added the Santa from the fabric panel to the quilt.
The pillow is made from a FPP pattern she links to on her blog.
That gingham backing is perfect for the back of the quilt!
Two. Midnight Ride Quilt Pattern
Midnight Ride with Mrs. Claus by Just Let Me Quilt
Carol at Just Let Me Quilt designed the Midnight Ride with Mrs. Claus Quilt pattern and used Santa Claus Lane fabric and Riley Blake Confetti Cottons to create the quilt. You can find the pattern for the quilt on her blog.
Three. Potholder Sewing Pattern
Holiday Hot Pad Tutorial by Ameroonie Designs
Amy from Ameroonie Designs created a set of potholders to go with her Mrs. Claus Table topper. She is sharing a free tutorial for the hot pads on her blog. Wouldn’t they be the perfect neighbor or teacher gift for the Holidays?
Four. Christmas Irish Chain Quilt & Pillow
Irish Chain Quilt & Cathedral Windows Pillow at Sissy Belle Sews
Stephanie from Sissy Belle Sews also created two projects with the line. She stitched up this yummy Christmas quilt with a pink background. I ADORE the pink she chose, and it gives the quilt such a fun vintage vibe.
She also created a pillow with Cathedral Window quilt blocks. She is sharing both projects on her blog and a tutorial to create the special layered binding she added to the quilt.
Five. Countdown Chain
Christmas Countdown Chain & Heritage Threads
Jen at Heritage Threads created a countdown chain with the line. She used a pattern by Maker Valley. The chain contains 25 “links” secured with Velcro. Just remove a link a day beginning in December until Christmas!
