| "Christmas Dash Quilt" |
I have been working on a quilt, a traditional quilt. I wanted it to be a 5 yard quilt, but alas, I'm 1 1/2" over on one of the fabrics! You need 37 1/2" of yardage in the cream.... aaarrrrgggg! Well, it's still a fun pattern but can't be considered a 5 yard quilt. Close but no cookie, if you have a quilt shop that cuts your fabric generously, then it's a 5 yarder. Love the size, 56" x 68", a great quilt for a family room, guest room, or as a gift. It can be easily pieced in a weekend. It's a dash to make! I made mine using
"Spirit of Christmas" from Marcus Brothers. But you could use any five fabrics.... You can also make it scrappy using whatever fabric you have on hand. I got mine pieced together in an afternoon and then sent it off to
Mimi's Quilting Cottage. Stacy does a fantastic job quilting!

I hope that you have fun with
'Christmas Dash'. I'm thinking of making a scrappy version using fabric from my stash.
Happy quilting and perfect stitches to you,
fun fun! I just did a 5 yd quilt too, but used 4 for the front and 1 for the backing, and part of one front fabric was also binding.
