This is my favorite Christmas quilt NOT made by me. This one my Mom made before I had the quilting bug. I love the colors and the absence of novelty Christmas fabric. The pattern is the simple Amish star block. Eventually I want to copy this quilt and make one for myself!
Now back to serious business…..not. (mug from Old Navy & its HUGE…just how I like it)

that quilt is a beauty - I really like how some of the blocks have just 3 fabrics, while others are wild with 4 fabrics - my fav block is the 2nd from right on the top row
Sarah

Natalia
That is darling! I love your colors!

Agreed - absence of novelty xmas fabric inspiring! The stripes and dots are so graphic. A super fun quilt. How nice for you to have a quilty mom with amazing taste in fabric (do I detect stash-raiding?).
Lisa

Vicki

Amy
Ahhh...thanks for the Christmas inspiration. I have yet to ever make anything Christmas for myself (I'm great at GIVING it away!) so I'm determined to fix this next year!
And suddenly I have a craving for a BIG mug of hot cocoa....

I love the fabrics. Hey, maybe your mom could give it to you and then you wouldn't have to copy it! My daughter can talk me into giving her my quilts. Hmm, maybe I need to do something about that.

Absolutely adorable! You just cannot beat red and green. Thanks for your comments on the Courthouse steps. The blocks started out as my freinds UFO. I saw a pic of a Kaffe Fassett quilt, with 6 different sizes of blocks, which triggered the idea. Kath :D

What a great Christmas quilt! Unique that the green fabrics are all of the lighter shades . . . very interesting. Inspiration plus!
I WANT that deer mug! Matter of fact, I want a whole set of them. Our nearest Old Navy store is 130 miles away and I know I won't get there before Christmas . . . maybe I should try online?

Mama Megs
Oh I love that quilt!! I've been wanting to make a christmas quilt without all the cheesey christmas prints...Someday!! She did such a great job :) Isn't it funny now that we're into quilting how much we love our mom's stuff? I have so much more respect for her now! Have a great christmas and I'll get that card off today :)
