I had SO much fun making this Pinwheel Snowflakes for Winter Joy six-month block of the month (BOM) quilt out of the beautiful “Winter Joy” fabric from Clothworks in 2009.
You still have time to start and finish it for the upcoming holidays! It really goes together quickly and will work great with the newest Christmas quilt fabric collections that have recently come on the market! It would also work great with non-holiday fabric. Anything goes!
What are you waiting for?!
Since we have been celebrating “Christmas in July 2014” at BOMquilts.com, I thought it appropriate to flashback on another holiday quilt gem from our “Christmas in July 2008” selections – “Golden Royal Layers“:
This finished out to be an absolutely gorgeous quilt…I just wish I remember who I gifted it to! LOL
Try making it with your favorite holiday fabrics that are on the market now, but be sure you find a fabric that has the fabric panels as that’s one of the things that really makes this quilt stand out!
While we’re on the subject of “Christmas in July 2014” at BOMquilts.com, I thought it’d be fun to find some Christmas candy crafts that would not only be good to eat but also make lovely decorations for your table runners and table toppers! Let’s get to it!

Once again, the third Christmas in July 2013 free quilt pattern has been locked and loaded at BOMquilts.com!
This week, the free quilt pattern is called “Hard Candy Christmas” and it was really fun to design, although halfway through the process, my eyes started swirling around the more I looked at those candies!
Feel free to join us at BOMquilts.com to download these wonderful Christmas quilts – I am sure you can get at least one of them completed before Christmas! In fact, if I were of my pre-MS capabilities, I could piece any one of these quilts in a day. Boy, do I miss being able to do that!
Enjoy a bit of holiday quilting, it just might help you cool off, too – if only in your mind 🙂
