Over the past year or so, I’ve had the privilege of (very slowly!) sewing along with The Farmer’s Wife 1930s quilt along as an official blogger. As a part of that, I also wielded my Marti Michell templates for good, sharing a mini quilt tutorial to show you how to use the templates in some other ways. And so did 12 other talented quilt designers!

These tutorials are perfectly timed for Christmas! I shared in my tutorial that I actually turned mine into a cushion cover, as that’s much more practical for me. And that also makes a great Christmas gift too! Alternatively, you could use some Christmassy colours and use your mini quilt as a table topper, or rearrange the blocks to make it a bit longer for a runner. Some of these quilts have great opportunities to add some sneaky little fussy cut fabrics into them, so there’s the perfect opportunity to finally use that adorable Christmas print you’ve been hoarding *coughCotton+SteelTinselcough*
And if you do make one of these, then be sure to enter it to win some goodies! Once you’ve made your mini quilt, you can:
