Last year I found this delightful fabric at Joanns. I bought about four yards of it (on sale, of course) simply because I enjoyed the design. I love the addition of unconventional lime green and light blue to the expected red and green Christmas colors!
What to do with such a happy fabric? Well, I have always wanted to make a zigzag quilt, and AmandaJean (of crazymomquilts) did a great no-triangle tutorial over at BeeSquare Fabrics.
I pulled each of the colors from the focus fabric and made this!

Just a wonderful snuggly quilt for the winter season - love that fabric line.
Great entry. One day I would like to make a zig zag quilt.
I love the new colors of Christmas better than the traditional. Especially the green.
Love the fabric, the colors, and - especially - the jazzy quilt! Well done!!
Thanks for the link to the Christmas quilt show, too.
Cheers!
Looks great.

I've always loved a zig zag quilt. Lovely!
I love a quilt with just enough Christmas to get you in the mood, but not so much that you have to pack it away once the holiday is over. That's a great quilt!
