Its Pot Luck Santa In The Middle Of A Dresden

Fussy Cut Santa And Candy Cane Quilt Blocks

Christmas prints in Santa , plaid, and jolly candy canes make a delightful festive quilt. With dresden blocks to fussy cut a greeting Santa, makes this quilt all the more merrier to display. Add a broad border of Santa fabric for jolly and bright.

A layer cake with Santa’s in the print, much like The Swell Christmas fabric line, is just perfect for this Pot Luck pattern. 2 1/2 inch squares in red and green, you could use any fabric for the chain blocks set againt white. Stripey red and white for the binding, and plaid backing makes a delightfully jaunty Christmas quilt.

Ten inch squares make for easy cutting for the chain blocks and dresdens. The best part is finding the perfect fussy cut to put in the centre. However when Sherri of A Quilting Life wasn’t always able to center the print because of limited fabric, it turned out just right as the jolly Santa ended up being off-center, sort of peeking around the corner.

Choose any Christmas fabric to fussy cut for the Dresden centre, such as Pixie Noel, kitty prints, or baubles, The Pot Luck pattern really lets the fabric shine in this quilt, and the Dresden plate blocks add even more to the already cute designs in the fabric. Or choose your own theme and a make this quilt for any time of year.

The Pot Luck quilt pattern, designed by Sherri of A Quilting Life, is available for purchase as a paper pattern, here, or a download to get it right away and start fussy cutting your Santa’s this weekend.
