I’ll add a little more info for those who are wondering about the Christmas element. I don’t want to give too much away because it’s a mystery, but I’ll tell this much. It’s all scrappy blocks–there are no pictorial elements to this quilt. When you look at the materials list, it calls for two red tone-on-tones and a green print. These are traditionally Christmas colors and you can safely substitute a different color combo there if you’d like.

Just called Quiltmaker to determine if any one fabric in this mystery made it specifically look like a Christmas quilt. My morning quilters wanted to do the quilt, but not all of them are Christian and celebrate Christmas. The borders can be determined at the end and can help it be more non-denominational.
