Square Merry Christmas quilt sample made by

Jacquelynne Steves and Daniela Durham. Mini

deer topper sample made by Daniela Durham.

Table runner sample made by Stephanie Crabtree

of Quilting Matilda, quiltingcollective.com

Approximate finished sizes:

• Square quilt- 32 1/2” square

• Table Runner- 16 1/2” x 48 1/2”

• Mini Topper- 16 1/2” x 16 1/2”

This pattern contains 6 little woodland “critters”

ready for the winter holidays (skunk, bunny, fox,

deer, owl, and bear) plus “Merry Christmas” and

“Warm Winter Wishes” sentiments. Make a table

runner, small square quilt, and mini table topper

quilt! For extra fun on the table topper and mini

topper, we’ve trimmed off the corners to make

things interesting- but don’t worry, we’ve got a

step-by-step tutorial for doing the binding!

For the Merry Christmas block, we’ve used three

different techniques. First, the insides of the

letters were tinted with dry brush fabric painting,

you can achieve a similar look with crayon tinting

as well (tutorials for both can be found on the

Club website.) Then the letters were outlined with

black embroidery floss using a backstitch. Finally,

the holly leaves were machine appliqued.

PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS:

Square Quilt:

Make the center square Applique/embroider your choice of design, centering on 10” White square.

Trim square to 8 1/2”, centering the design.

Assemble the block Place a 5 1/8” White square right sides together with a Dark Green square; repeat so you have 4 sets.

Place a 5 1/8” White square right sides together with a Light Green square; repeat so you have 2 sets.

Place a 5 1/8” Light Green square right sides together with a Dark Green square; repeat so you have 2 sets.

Use a ruler and a pencil to draw a line diagonally from corner to corner, on the WRONG side of the top fabric of each

“square pair”. Then draw a line 1/4” on either side of this line. I like to use a see-through ruler for this step. (You can also

just draw the line down the center and use your 1/4” foot to sew 1/4” away from each side of the center line… but I like

the accuracy I get by drawing in all of the lines.)

Pin the pairs together, and sew on those “side” lines (not the center line),

then cut on the center line:

Press the seam allowances open.

You will have HSTs which look like this:

Trim HSTs to 4 1/2”. See HST tutorial here tinyurl.com/hst-easy-tutorial

Sew the Dark Green/White HSTs together and press seam allowances open.
