Sugarplum Quilt for Heather Ross

Happy holiday season!  Now that Thanksgiving is over, we’ve officially reached that magical time of year when it’s time to start decorating.  So grab your tree, all the ornaments, your Christmas quilts, and get started!

Don’t have Christmas quilt, you say?  No worries! I’ve got you covered.

Today I’m sharing a quick and easy Big Star quilt you can make using Christmas-themed fabric, all in an afternoon.  Seriously.  This mini quilt takes very little time and can be cut and pieced long before Santa arrives. It’s also a great project to do with kids.

I made this sweet little mini star quilt way back in October of last year.  Heather asked me to make it for her Sugarplum collection that she was showing that same month at Quilt Market.

There was never a look book made for Sugarplum but you can see all of the fabrics here.  This collection has been in stores since last spring, however I’m sure it’s still available for purchase at many places, especially online shops.

This pattern is made using 9-7/8squares cut in half to make the triangles.  The four corner squares are 9-½” each.  If you want more specific instructions I found this pattern online that is very similar and provides step-by-step info.  That pattern, however, includes a border and I did not use a border on mine, but I think it would look cute either way.

This quilt is small enough that a standard cut of fabric is wide enough for the back.  I don’t have a picture of it, but the back of this quilt uses the Sugarplum large-scale mice print, and the border is the pink peppermint candy fabric, which just may be my favorite from the collection.

So there you have it. A mini star quilt that will add a little bit of holiday cheer to your home.
