It's the Fourth Day of Christmas at CKC and of course we have another fabulous FREE pattern for you today! I'm really excited about this one because it includes a technique I've heard of but have never personally done before: quilting as you go. I am intrigued and must try it right away! It's looks easier than I thought and turns out amazing! Sheena used this technique to create a stunning piece that will work perfectly for holiday decorations as well as gifts:
Isn't it gorgeous?!
This project is perfect for using up fabric scraps or combining some of your favorites. And because you really do quilt as you go (and not at the end), it's like a magical project instead of overwhelming. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to make just one! And just look at these:
Okay, seriously! Yummy! In more ways than one!
Our genius doll designer Suze even made one to work as a doll quilt:
Now that you have seen how amazing these can come out, it is your turn to go for it!
You're all set! Break out those Christmas fabrics and work some magic! When your place mat is done, please come share a photo in our patterns group on Facebook. We would love to see! Also, stay tuned for another free project tomorrow.
Let's Create! ~ Kristen
