Think I would love to make a holiday quilt for my little grandson so he has his own special quilt to snuggle under while waiting for santa to arrive.
I would make for myself. I don’t have a holiday quilt and love this pattern.
I am just making a holiday quilt now for myself, but I would love to have been able to make one for my Mum. she would have loved it, unfortunately she died before I started quilting. Linda
I would make a holiday quilt for one of my girlfriends Karen. We grew up
together. She is more like my little sister and now lives outside Dallas Texas.
Last year I made her a quilted handbag. She gave me an expensive piece of
jewelry.
I would like to make a Christmas quilt for each of my older children (some are married). They could have it in their apartments to add to the Christmas cheer!!!
I think for my husband. He is the one who has none yet!
I’d like to make one like this for my sister in law…it’s perfect for her!
I think I would make it for myself. I love Christmas. In December we put up our
tree on the 1st and we decorate every room of the house and this quilt would fit right in and it’s so pretty.
I like the Christmas fabric…. which I love Christmas time. The quilt looks real nice.
I would make a Christmas quilt for my oldest. She has been married a year and needs holiday decorations. Thank you for the chance to win. Take care and God bless, Cory
I am making this quilt for one of my family members and will be making another one for a friend. Love these fabrics.
I am making this quilt as a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law. I gave a different quilt to a relative last year, and this sister-in-law loved it so much she rigged the annual “name draw” to make sure I got hers:) It’s coming out beautifully.
For my dearest friend!! The fabric is beautiful!! So is the Quilt!!
I wish I could make a quilt for my mother. Unfortunately, she died last year.
I would make a Christmas quilt for my friend, Paula. she decorates BIG TIME for Christmas, and she would LOVE to have a Christmas quilt.

I’d like to make a Christmas quilt for my niece’s daughter, Chelsea, because she believes in all the magic of Christmas, and will for a few more years.
I really want to make one for my mom
Every year I try to get one started and finished for my son…and it hasn’t happened yet. Maybe this year will be the year!
For my cousin. He lost his father and his daughter this year, so the holidays will be really rough for him and his family.
I would make this one to donate to the kids cancer center at the hospital so they have a little sparkle while waiting for Christmas this year.
I would most like to make a Christmas Quilt for my sister who is struggling in her battle with pancreatic cancer.
The person I’d most like to make a Christmas quilt for is my husband. He loves putting up lavish Christmas decorations for everyone to enjoy. It would be nice for him to have a “decoration” for his sole enjoyment.
I would love to make a holiday quilt for our daughter who lives in the Middle East. She needs reminders of home traditions.
I think I’d make this for my Dad.
This quilt will be a donation quilt for breast cancer patients.
It is wonderful how much they are apreciated, and brightens there life.
The quilt is so beautiful, and I will make more of them.
I would make a holiday quilt for my mom. When I was in jr. high she took a quilting class and made one quilt–for me! She loves Christmas, so I would like to make a holiday quilt for her.
I would love to make this quilt for my house for all my guests to enjoy over the holiday season.
I would make a quilt for my MOM. She was the one who purchased my first sewimg machine for me several years ago for Christmas. Then about 2 years ago for my birthday & Chistmas my parent purchased me a sewing cabinet. And my mom purchased me a inexpensive table to cut all my fabric and to use for family holiday dinner and was purchased around Thanksgiving. Needless to say it only has been used for quilting. This would be a nice gift to give her for the holiday’s since she has purchased the big items for me to quilt with around the Christmas holiday.
I can’t believe we are thinking about Christmas ideas already. Where has the year gone.
I’d love to make a Christmas quilt for my bff Lynn–something for her to wrap up in while her grandkids open presents
Making a quilt to raffle off in our church “Holiday Fair” with a Christmas theme is my plan this year. This has been a fun quilting experience….hope you continue to use this format. Thanks.
I want to make a quilt for my husband. He’s the most awesome man I know who helps me do the things I cannot do with my bad legs and not one time does he ever complain. When I get frustrated with my body for not allowing me to do things he gets mad at me for feeling guilty for not being able to do things around our house and says that’s why HE is here and it’s part of his job to help me. *sigh* I’m so lucky to have him and would love to make him a quilt because he deserves it so much. I’m hoping between all the reading I’ve done and my beginning quilt piecing class I’m taking right now that I’ll be able to make one for him.
I would most like to make a Christmas quilt for my dad who died before I learned to quilt.
I would like to make it for my daughter who moved 4 years ago to Atlanta from Wisconsin. She hated winter so when it snows in ATL. she needs something to keep her extra warm and remind her of home.
I would like to make a Christmas quilt for any and all of my four grandchildren, who are away at college. I think to have a special quilt to wrap up in when you are studying and know your family is thinking of you would never be forgotten.
I would love to make a Christmas quilt for my son and his wife to put in their new home.
I’d make it for my mother-in-law. We won’t get to see her this Christmas so it would be nice to send a quilt instead!
I’d make it for my husband (and Val’s quilt is perfect!). He used to by a “Bah Humbug” kind of guy, but now loves the Christmas Holiday season, and I’d like to reward him for that with a cozy Christmas throw to keep him company by the fire place.
I’d love to make a holiday quilt for myself

For me! It’s about time I made one for myself.
I have not yet made a holiday quilt – I’d love to make one for my husband for a surprise Christmas gift. Thanks for your generous giveaways!

My son got married 3 days ago – I’d like to make him and his new wife a quilt
I would make this quilt for my younger daughter who is moving into her own apartment soon and will need a little Christmas cheer.

Living in Texas, I miss the snowy winters of the Northeast, and a Christmas lap quilt would remind me of them. (Of course, I don’t miss having to shovel or drive in the snow/ice!)

I would love to make a Christmas quilt for – and with – my 16-year-old daughter. . . . to add to her collection of decorations for when she leaves home in 2 years.
My mom. She us my inspiration for quilting and I would love to make a quilt just for her
I would make a Christmas quilt for a good friend. who has helped me out this past year with some really tough times.
Block Y was the first applique pattern I learned back in 1980! It was called Honey Bee. I made my in browns and gold! How different it looks in Christmas Colors!
I want to make a holiday quilt for my aunt who loves quilts and was kind enough to travel 6 hours one way to attend a quilt show with me even though she doesn’t make quilts herself. I’ve given her numerous quilts over the years but never a holiday themed quilt.
I have a friend who is a widow who is struggling with some health issues right now. Mostly she is having difficulty with her vision. I really would love to make a quilt for her this Christmas. It is definitely on my to do list.
I’ve never made a holiday quilt yet, so could use one in my own home to throw over the back of the couch!

I would love to make a holiday quilt for my Mother-in-law as she is hard to buy gifts for.
It would be special to make a holiday quilt for my daughter, who will likely spend her first Christmas season away from home in another state, working at her first “real” job after college.
I would love to make a Christmas quilt for my Mom. I’ve made Dad some cozy quilts for afternoon naps, but Mum doesn’t have one just for her. Christmas is her favourite time of year, so a Christmas quilt with dedicated seasonal fabric would make her most happy!
I would make a Christmas quilt for one of my daughters who is just starting to collect decor for Christmas. Then I would have to make two more for my other daughters. My sewing is neverending!
I’d like to make a holiday quilt for my husband, who has survived cancer, and can celebrate this year. Also, he indulges my love of sewing, realizing it is my sanity, and more fabric is just a good investment! He also brags too much about how many quilts I make for others.
I would make one for my mom. She sews but she doesn’t quilt. She would love it so much.
I think this quilt will become a gift for my friend who helped pick out the fabric. I think she’ll be in for a big surprise!
I would like to treat myself to a holiday quilt.
Since I amake most of my quilts lap size and give them to kids who have had cancer, I think my baby grandson definitely ought to go the the top of my list! Can’t believe how big he is at 5 weeks! If I wait too much longer, I will have to make a full sized quilt for him!
I have a pattern for a primitive, applique Christmas quilt. I want to make it in two colorways, one for each on my elementary-age children.
I would like to make a holiday quilt for some random person I’ve never met.
This is such a quick quilt to make that I’ll be making several as gifts to the Honor Flight veterans and other charities.
I’m reading through old posts. I’m not sure if I would ever make a holiday quilt. This one is nice though!
