I don’t do the seasonal quilt thing, I like my quilts to be useful the year around.
I have only been quilting for approx. one year, so I haven’t acquired that many wall quilts yet to change them out seasonally. I try to make the wall hangings in such a way that they can hang on my wall all year around.
I haven’t actually, since I only started non garment sewing earlier this year – but I have some stuff noodling in my head for Christmas!
I’m quilting a tree of life for my bedroom. I have working for six months, but it will to be fantastic.
I do have seasonal quilts for our bed, but the rest of the house tends to have whichever I specially love at the moment.
So far, I’ve only used Christmas quilts. I am working on an Easter/Spring quilt, and have a Autumn quilt in the “to do” line up. Pattern and fabrics are all selected and in a basket waiting. Can’t wait to start.
The only seasonal quilts I do are Christmas ones!
I have yet to finish my first quilt.! I think themed quilts are probably my thing, I am making one for my daughter to take to university, with meaningful fabrics, covering some of the events and likes in her life, eg Eiffel tower, African print, coffee, chess, dolphins, planes. (yes she has a very wide range of interests. (couldn’t find any judo prints though), and also one for me with the theme taken from the poem the months by sarah coleridge, am also struggling to find some suitable prints for some of the months. and why hide away all thet hard work for 3 out of 4 seasons !!!
I have a quilt my sister made for us a couple of Christmases ago that I display every Christmas now. Thanks for the chance to win.
As a new quilter, I am still working on getting a quilt on every bed in the house. Once those are done, I would like to have a Christmas quilt to hang in my entry. Don’t know that I will ever get to the point of doing more seasonal quilts than that.
I would love to do the seasonal thing, but don’t have many seasonal quilts yet. My only one is a small wall hanging made with Lynda Howell’s Isabelle block from the first 100 Blocks magazine. Hopefully I’ll have time to make more seasonal quilts as time goes by.
Not yet! I think a quilted tree skirt would be nice. Thanks!
I don’t do seasonal decorating except at Christmas. I have a quilted tree skirt and a Christmas table runner plus a small quilted wall hanging.
I don’t usually use seasonal fabrics. I’ve always wanted a Christmas quilt, but before Christmas I’m making things for other people, and after Christmas I lose interest. This last year my quilt guild did a “Round Robin” quilting project where each member added to someone’s center block. I picked a Christmas themed block for that project, and now I have a fantastic Christmas quilt.
I use a few seasonal wall quilts through the year in my family room and at Christmas I pull out a bunch of quilts and wall hangings to decorate.
I have just re-entered the quilting world, so I do not have any seasonal quilts. It is a goal I would like to work toward, though.
so many great fabrics and so many great versions of this quilt. It really shows such different looks. I would love to win a bundle!
I’m relatively new to quilting and haven’t completed any seasonal quilts, other than Christmas. My husband built a quilt rack for our foyer and I have a goal of completing a seasonal quilt to display on it for each season.
Being that I love autumn and its colors, I have several quilts that are displayed on the sofa or walls of my family room. I also have at least four Christmas quilts.
I do use seasonal quilts especially at Christmas. This pattern is very effective with many lines of fabric. I would love to win a bundle.
I tend to add seasonal color with pillows and table toppers.
I’ working on seasonal quilts for my home but only have a few pieces completed thus far.
I use seasonal quilts in my master bedroom. I have a red/white/blue quilt that I use for the summer and a lavendar quilt for spring. Still need to make a quilt for fall and winter.
Fall colors are gorgeous, they have a feel good coziness about them. I need to start using seasonal quilts. Thanks for the fabulous giveaway.
I have made few seasonal quilts. I have couple halloween wall quilts and a table runner. I like christmas time a lot so I have made few bed quilts, wall quilts and server mats. I’m just working with a advent calender which I’m planning to use this christmas. I also recently looked through my old Quiltmaker magazines and found a nice tree skirt which is next on my list.
I love seasonal quilts! I am in the process of making a fall colored wall hanging with a black newfoundland dog profile on it. Once this one is done, I plan on doing a newfie themed Christmas wall hanging and then raffling them both off to support newf rescue.
I would love to decorate with seasonal quilts but I am still a beginner and do not have any made up – but that is in my plans!
I have one seasonal quilt with snowmen that I keep out all winter. Other than that, the rest of my quilts are not seasonal. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the fall and Christmas so my house is decorated in those colors. I have orange in my bedroom with a quilt to match. So yes I have seasonal decorations!
I love seasonal quilts! I am in the process of making a fall colored wall quilt with autumn leaves, acorns and a newfoundland dog profile. Once this one is done, I plan on making a Christmas themed one with a newfie on it. Both will be raffled off to support newf rescue and then I will make another fall colored one for our house.
I did make a seasonal table runner last year to give as a gift. I want to do more but presently have too many UFO’s to start another project.
I have scrappy quilts out all year long, they’re seasonal, right? ;0) I especially love the second example above -those fabrics are delish!
The only seasonal quilt I have is a Christmas quilt and it comes out every year just after Thanksgiving. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your wonderful giveaway!
I do use seasonal quilts and table toppers, placemats etc. I love the seasonal fabrics. There are times that I find those fabrics much more interesting than the fabrics for everyday. The colors are so vibrant and exciting. Pam
Sure do. I use them as my art work, on the walls and table tops. Forget the beds–they are large tables in this house and everything gets thrown on top. No 30,000 hour quilt there for me!
I have a Christmas quilt, a Valentine’s day table topper quilt, and a Halloween quilt. Love this pattern!
Yes, I do have quilts for all of the seasons & do use them to decorate. I’m always surprised about how ready I am to get the next seasons quilts out ahead of the season.
I have a number of seasonal quilts but my favorite ones are those I can use all year. I don’t like to put my inspiration in a box until next year!!
I DO use seasonal quilts to decorate in my home. Some may not be quilted, but I love to use the colors of fall, Christmas and spring to bring the color indoors. We live in Central Florida, so there are no fall or winter colors on the outside, but we sure can enjoy how quilts bring a cheerful addition to every season.
I love doing seasonal quilts as an easy ‘go to’ in between the larger projects — it’s always nice to get something completed in a couple days.
I do use seasonal wall hangings and table toppers to decorate my home at the holidays. I’m currently working on a Christmas wall hanging. As a former teacher, I have lots of teacher friends who would appreciate a back to school quilted gift for Christmas!
I plan to hang a seasonal quilts over my fireplace (it’s gas, so I don’t use it). The wall remains bare for 11 months because I only have one done for Halloween
The Christmas quilt is in process. Thanks for the chance to win some great fabrics!
I always have a table topper quilts that are seasonal and some quilted wall hangings,too.
Yes, I have seasonal quilts for my bedroom. Working on having 12 seasonal quilts, one for each month. Thank you. Tamsyn
Love the quilts! May try it with black trim for my teenager!
I’ve just started quilting this year, so I haven’t had time to make any seasonal quilts. Although, I just started a Christmas BOM, so I’ll have one ready by the holidays next year!
I like to put seasonal quilts up on the wall in my family room. Hoping to win some fabric!
Absolutely love to make and use seasonal quilts! Christmas is my favorite and love to display quilts in every room. It is time to make some new ones!
Of course I do. You can only use so many on a bed so with over 10 years worth of quilts, I need to use them in some other way. BTW: I love the red rooster fabric line shown. They always have great fabrics.
All my quilts have been gifted out, I guess I need to make one for myself!
I use seasonal table runners but not quilts. Need to do some seasonal wall hanging just have not had time.
Definitely decorate with seasonal quilts and tablerunners. Change them out quite often and rotate.
The only seasonal quilts that I use is a lapsize one on the coach and tablerunners.
I have made several seasonal quilted wall hanging. My Christmas and Summer wall hangings are special to me because they were made by a group of friends as a “Round Robins”. I always think of my friends when I see their sections of each quilt. My “Fall” wall hanging won a 2nd place Ribbon at the LIQS Show so I enjoy displaying it each autumn.
I have a Christmas wall hanging that I leave up year round because it makes me happy to look at it.
No seasonal quilts so far just table runners or wall hangings
Absolutely!! The house comes alive when the harvest colored and themed quilts are thrown over the staircase railing…when cozy Christmas quilts are draped on the backs of couches…when pastel and candy hued quilts are spilling out over dressers to catch the spring sunshine…when bold, vibrant deep-toned quilts bring the summer indoors…and when holiday and special day (think birthdays, graduations, etc) motifs and patterns and colors announce that special family celebrations have once again arrived. My spirits lift each time I pull out an “old favorite” or add a newly completed one to enhance the season!!
I have a few seasonal wall hanging. I’m almost finish with a christmas bed quilt, only need to put on the binding.
I
As I am a former elementary teacher and librarian, I definitely use seasonal decor in my home. I had at least one quilt for each season and holiday for school and home. There are never enough!
I love to use seasonal quilts to decorate, and i also make them to give away, both to the Grands and to my MIL in a Nursing Home. we all love them. thanks, scarlette
Each month I hang seasonal wall hanging on my door and a miniature quilt on a miniature clothesline plus throw a seasonal quilt
on the back of my antique rocker. They are just part of the decor & help put me in the the mood of the month.
This all started when I made monthly door hangings for my Mother during the time she was in an independent living
apt. from the age of 95 to her death at 99 & 7 months. All the other residents also eagerly awaited the arrival of the next
hanging & always had wonderful things to say about how they enjoyed seeing people returning to quilting. I also quilt all year
on donation quilts and commissioned quilts….needless to say, I use alot of fabric & naturally could use some new pieces! Thanks.
I have been busy making table runners to celebrate the seasons, 4th of July, Autum, Halloween and Christmas so far. fun to use the different fabrics and put them together
I really don’t have any quilts I have made that I decorate my house with at Christmas. I usually am too busy making gifts for others that I don’t make anything for our house. I have a tree skirt that has been waiting four years to get quilted; maybe this will be the year it’ll be under our tree???
I love to make seasonal quilts but I don’t usually decorate with them I never seem to finish them on time
I have many seasonal quilts I use. Christmas ones of course but I also have ones for Easter, St.Patricks Day , Valentines Day and of course my favorite is Halloween. I have a couple of small quilts I hang and one large glow in the dark quilt I use on my bed or thrown on the couch. I love quilting seasonal quilts.
I love seasonal quilts. I have a lot of them, and hate to put them away when the season is over, but ready for a change for the next season and quilt. I have plans on making many more, I feel like I never have enough different quilts here…. I like to show them off too…
I am a beginning quilter, but my plan is to have a quilt for each season done by the end of the year!
Love the Red Rooster fabrics – as usual! They have fantastic designers!
I am beginning to add more seasonal quilts to my stash. I am in love with the Red Rooster fabric version of this quilt.
No, I really don’t do seasonal either. It depends on my frame of mind at the time and my mood. It like whatever makes me happy whenever. I have really enjoyed your Back to School posts. So many choices. Great job. Thank you for giving all of us a wonderful opportunity to win and to make that quilt.

i haven’t decorated with seasonal quilts, but I’d like to. I have several I’d like to do.
I started paper-piecing some Halloween blocks, but got sidetracked because paper-piecing traditionally was frustrating me. Now I use Peggy Martin’s Quick Strip Paper Piecing method, and I love it now. I need to pull those back out and finish them!
I only use seasonal quilts at Christmas, but I love to use quilts year around. especially very colorful quilts.
I would love to change my quilt seasonally, but I need to get them finished first. LOL
yes! My very first quilt is a 68″ square tree skirt (or tree “pants” I suppose, since it’s not round, and others find that somewhat upsetting). More seasonal quilts to come, FOR SURE.
i have a quilt for halloween/fall, one for spring and one for christmas time in reds and greens, i have wall hanging for a few of the season have plans to do more this year
I use seasonal quilts and other sewing project to decorate my home. Especially in the autumn & at Christmastime. Thanks for another chance to win!
I do, at least for Fall and Christmas. I have a few summer quilts in process and I enjoy changing things out for the season.
Love the Red Rooster quilt – I think that is my favorite of these so far.
The only themed quilts I have are Halloween and Christmas – and both stay out year round… of course so does the heavy flannel that my son likes to curl up under in JULY!!!
I like to use only a Christmas Quilt
I have a couple unfinished seasonal quilts do those count? I have good intentions but there’s just not enough hours in the day to quilt all I want to quilt!!!!
I have table toppers for all 4 seasons plus quilts & throws for Easter/Spring, Summer/4th of July, Fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving, & Winter/Christmas. I change out my decor regularly. Great giveaway…Thanks!
Love this line of fabric. What a wonderful quilt this would make. Do you want my phone number so you can call me when I win?
We have seasonal quilts, but we use them all the time. For example, my sons favorite quilt it his “Mr. Grinch” quilt. Doesn’t matter the season, it is on his bed!
I don’t have anything seasonal done up yet. I am working on a Christmas quilt and would like to finish it for this year. I like, like the fabrics from Red Rooster and Quilting Treasures. Thanks for the giveaway and the chance to win some great fabric!!
I do use seasonal quilts, most at Halloween and Christmas, I hang them and also put one on each guest room bed and in the master bedroom. Thank You for having this contest. Best Wishes, Nancy
The only seasonal quilt I have made that we kept is a Christmas lap throw for my husband. He won’t admit it, but he did everything except make it. Picked the fabrics, pattern, even the designs I hand quilted on it. It is not prominently displayed, but it is kept out to be used whenever needed.
I have one small nativity wall hanging that I made when I was teaching some friends to paper piece that I get out at Christmas time. Aside from that I don’t have any other seasonal quilts. Although I think table runners would be a quick project and great to give a seasonal fill for the house.
Christmas and halloween!
Have a couple of flimsy’s that eventually will be seasonal wallhangings, but other than that don’t have too much for different seasons. Thanks for the giveaway.
I have a couple of seasonal quilts and am working on more. Still collecting appropriate fabrics for certain seasons/holidays.
I love both the fabric lines, I could use the back to school in a baby quilt. I think that would be cute. The other line would make a wonderful table topper for my table during the fall and at Thanksgiving. I have not made any seasonal table toppers for myself, but I made 4 long runners for a friend who owns a B&B for use on their breakfast buffet table.
I like to have seasonal wall hangings in the dining room with matching placemats.
I use seasonal quilts to decorate at different holidays.
I have not made that many quilts yet and the ones I have made are normally kids size. I do not have any seasonal quilts yet. But, have a possible table runner/wall hanging pretty much cut out. I still need to cut my strips for it and then on to sewing.
My only seasonal quilt is a spring quilt. I love to put it on a bed as the winter days start to get longer. It’s a daily reminder of brighter, warmer days ahead. A Christmas quilt to decorate my entrywall is next on my to do list of quilting projects, and I’ve started gathering fabrics. Collecting fabric is almost as much fun as making the quilt!
I have a wall in my entry that I change the quilt each month. So yes, quilts for all seasons. Can’t get enough of that Red Rooster!!!
I get requests for quilts and I make whatever that person wants. I have made over 100 quilts and do not have a single quilt for myself. I make a lot of charity quilts. I would love the chance to win!!!
I love the pattern! It is so versatile, and I am enjoying seeing it in so many colorways. I love the Red Rooster line.
I definately decorated with seasonal quilts. My table top sees the most changes but I also decided to make a quilt for myself this last winter. It’s a cream coloured Christmas quilt with lots of wreaths. My summer one is light and bright, perfect for the season.
I have only made quilts for christmas but this year I am going to make one for us to keep .. I have made everyone else a quilt now so I can start on mine! excited! this one looks great! The last few have been picture quilts so this one looks a little less stressful!!
I have some holiday quilts, but they seem to all end up at the grandkids’ houses during the holidays. I stole back a Halloween quilt this spring, so I may have that one hung soon. Thanks for having the drawing!
I have two seasonal quilts that I use. One is at Christmas , it was a quilt block exchange with five other women. Two of who are school chums I have known over 50 years, so it is special in many ways. The other was made for my youngest grandaughter who was born on Valentines day. It is a paper pieced heart quilt.
I have some Christmas quilts that come out every Thanksgiving, but that’s all. However, my sister-in-law has a quilt hanger in her kitchen over the table and I have made several seasonal hangings for her to put up.
I’m always changing out my small quilts to go with the season. It seem I have the most in Red/White/Blue. Then comes winter with a lot of snowmen. Then next I would have to say fall colors and Halloween. Thanks for the fun times.
I have a Christmas and Halloween quilt I display during those times. Oh yes, one during Advent also:-)
This pattern would be great with almost anything because of the way the fabrics are separated. I am also thinking I could insert some photo transfers as the sashing looks sort of like the edge of film.
I would use them to decorate if I had some made! I am fairly new at quilting, and so far have just made quilts for gifts.
I love to decorate with holiday themed quilts, wall hangings, and table toppers.
I use seasonal wall quilts and lap quilts in my home.
I have a Christmas blanket that I display, but would love to have some seasonal quilts too. THANKS for the chance!
ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
I have an advent calender wall quilt and a few Chrisrmas tree skirts that are quilted.
I have a couple Christmas themed lap/couch quilts and one in fall colors. I put them on the back of the couch during the appropriate season. I’m not sure I would consider it decorating, since they are in use so often that they don’t get looked at very often! My goal is to have one for each season or holiday, so I have quite a few left to make;-> The place I really use my quilts to decorate is my cubicle at work. I have two year-round wall-hangings and several seasonal ones that I put up during the appropriate time of year.
LOVE this pattern! Now just need some fabric to start it! Sure would be GREAT to WIN some!!!
I haven’t been quilting for very long, so I don’t have any seasonal quilts (yet!). However, I do have a pattern and some fabrics already picked out, in a bin, and on my ‘to do’ list. Unfortunately, there are a few other quilts in line in front of it. It’s a fall quilt though, so I figure I’ve got another year to work on it!
I love to do seasonal quilts and wall hangings. There are so many beautiful fabrics out there, I just love to use them and enjoy!!!!!
I have one space on my wall where I hang a 30 x 45 wall hanging and have been trying to make one new seasonal looking quilt a year for that spot.
I haven’t done any seasonal quilts yet, but this summer I did buy a quilt kit to make a Halloween quilt, and I’ve been collecting icy blue fabrics to make another pattern that I bought to make a snowman with snow globes quilt. Can’t wait to get started on these!!!
I have made wall hangings for every season and switch them monthly.
I just started quilting less than a year ago, and have not had a chance to make any seasonal quilts yet. I hope to in the near future!!
I only have a few seasonal quilts one is reindeer and snowmen. One is the Easter bunny and of course one with a big ol funny turkey. My granddaughter loves to snuggle and she loves my quilts. Making her her very first one for Christmas so she can snuggle all the time.
I have a few wall hanging and table runners that I have done and are so cute. I want to do a tree skirt for my daughter and a small Christmas quilt for grand daughter that just moved into her first apartment. I think that would be nice for cuddling up this winter.
I’m not really into seasonal decorating. My hubby says he is the one that needs to be kept warm, not the walls…lol. So most of my quilts are made big enough to cuddle under or bed size.
Thank you for the chance to win!
I haven’t had a chance to make a seasonal quilt as I have been busy with table runners, napkins, placemats and gift bags of all types for shower and wedding gifts. Maybe I can get to a seasonal lap quilt for our TV room this year. Happy quilting
What fun it is to quilt! This is the time of year to catch the spirit in oh so many ways!
I love to make seasonal table runners and wall hangings to decorate my house with. That’s kind of how I got in to quilting in the first place. I quilted some seasonal panels for vests to wear at work, then made a tree skirt and it blossomed from there.
I am working on a large wall quilt with the three wise me for this Christmas. It’s taking longer than I thought, but it will be beautiful (if I do say so myself).
I love seasonal quilts. I have them out all year long.
My family love the tablerunners.
I love Christmas quilts! In fact, I use one that my mom made for me as “my” quilt. I share a lot of things, but not “my” quilt.
I decorate with quilts and lots of quilted items at Christmas.
I change my quilts to the season. I usually make a new Christmas quilt every year. This year I think it will be table toppers!
I plan to use seasonal quilts, mainly holiday (like Christmas and Halloween, etc.) I haven’t made them yet. I am relatively new and don’t have a ton of quilts yet. And, I keep giving them away!
I don’t have seasonal quilts – mine are usually generic enough for year-’round. p.s. I love Red Rooster Fabrics!
I don’t have seasonal quilts yet, can’t look in the future
I have a quilt that was intended to be an Autumn quilt, but I never got around to making more seasonal quilts so it’s now an all-year-round quilt!
I have table runners for each season. I’m working on placemats and wall hangings, and plan a snowflake fabric quilt for winter, to toss on the couch. Fun fabrics today, and a great question!
I haven’t used quilts to decorate for seasons, but hope to make some for Christmas and other holidays!
I use seasonal quilts as wall hangings and furniture throws, particularly at Christmas time. I have this one snowman wall hanging that I use to display Christmas cards I receive.
I only have a Christmas quilt.
I like to make regular quilts, and the only seasonal item I’ve made is a table runner. However, I sometimes select color palettes that give me the feel for that time of the year (browns fall, brights for spring/summer, jewel tones for winter).
I make regular “non seasonal” quilts.
I’m sewing up a pumpkin table topper right now!
I do use Christmas quilts, & so far, not many more.
I do have a halloween project in progress, and have plans for other fall, Easter, and Independence Day quilts.
The seasonal quilts are a fun accessory, but the “year round” quilts are the main attraction!!!
I have several small quilts and tabletoppers which I use for sesonal decorations. Love to change them and reuse them an year later. But I don’t have big seasonal quilts.
I display seasonal quilts and holiday quilts. I use my piano bench to put table runners for the different seasons. Have a fall one on there now. I also use wallhangings for the seasons and holidays. Love the different fabrics shown today in the Back To School pattern. Thanks for a chance to win the wonderful fabrics.
I use small seasonal wall hangings on a short wall by the back door. I have the fabric & pattern (in the “to-do” pile) for a Halloween themed bed quilt, which I’m anxious to start. It would be wonderful to win a bundle of fabric – a quilter can never have too much fabric! Thank you!
I have quilts with Christmas colors to display on my quilt racks and I have made each child a Christmas quilt and are working on ones for the grandchildren.
I use a few seasonal quilted items, such as table runners and small wallhangings. I would like to do more as there are some really nice patterns for seasonal items.
Tis the plan. I used to have monthly flags for the outside of the house but no more. Now my plan is quarterly hanging quilts for the family room. Guess I better get to sewing!
I would love to do seasonal quilts – but I am not going to have time until I retire.
I try to use a seasonal quilt at the bottom of my staircase and/or over my mantel. The rest of them get shuffled “whenever”.
It would be so much fun to win some fabric. I would love to make a sampler of my favorite blocks from the Quiltmaker magazine.
Thanks
I love quilting and could really use some new fabric. Love the Back to School Party!!!
I started making seasonal quilts taking classes with Jacki Patton about 20 years ago! My favorites are my fall quilts. Just love those colors!
Idouseseasonal quilts to decorate. I have wall hangings for each season and tablerunners. I also have seasonal throw quilts to use and even bed quilts.
For the past 10 years I have made a new Christmas quilt each year. Many are throws, three wall quilts for the family room. My youngest grandson (age 20), reciently told said ” I love being at Grandma’s house at Christmas. With all the quilts, you can just reach out, and there is a quilt to wrap up in”
Always have a Christmas Quilt on my couch and in the guest room. Looking forward to decorating for Halloween this year.
I like to make quilts using materials that contain Christmas patterns and give them away as gifts. This year I’m considering making a tree skirt for our tree.
I use seasonal decorating at Christmas. I use a quilted tree skirt and have a Christmas quilt.
The fall colors would look great in this pattern for thanksgiving!!
I don’t use seasonal quilts or wall-hangings regularly, but I do have some – and even more fabric to make others. I am especially pleased with the Red Rooster fabrics; the colors are so beautiful!
I have given away all the seasonal items I’ve made so far, but I have plans to make some for myself to decorate my home. Thanks for the chance to win. I love most Red Rooster fabrics and would love to win these.
I take a lot of classes to learn new techniques so generally do something seasonal either for myself or as a gift for my sister who loves everything i do — beccause she doesn’t quilt!
I have 2 seasonal quilts, one for fall and one for Christmas.
I have quite a collection of seasonal quilts. A lot of them are wall hanging size. I would change them out every month in the lobby of the building where I worked. Unfortunately, we moved last year and the lobby is much smaller with less wall space, so my quilting exhibit has ended. You would be surprised how many conversations sprung up as a result of my quilts! I was often able to hang two or even three quilts each month – I had a lot for Halloween!
Yup, I like to change out my quilts and that works with seasonal, although not all seasons. Don’t really have autumn color schemes in my house so I don’t have alot of quilts that color.
I do have several seasonal quilts that are sitting on my shelf waiting to be sewn- with two young boys it’s not easy to find the time! So for now, I have made seasonal table runners that I use. They are so much quicker!
Yes I have seasonal quilts . I have a winter / Christmas and several Spring and Summer ones. I have a wall quilt holder shelf and I like to display them on it and on my rocker and sofa as well.
I do some seasonal quilt things. Usually I wind up giving them to granddaughters. They love those quilts!
I haven’t made any seasonal quilts but am thinking about a Christmas wallhanging. I just have found one I really, really like yet.
I don’t have any seasonal quilts yet, but when I do, I would probably display them in some way around the holidays.
I have a couple seasonal quilts but have a hard time putting them away so tend to make all-season quilts!
I have Halloween and Christmas wall quilts for my hall-rest of year gets left overs that turned out to be the right size to hang there!
I do have an Autumn quilt and a Christmas table runner that I made to use in my family room– and have plans to make wall hangings for all the seasons, holidays, etc.– it is on my “to do” list!
Thank you so much for giving six of us a chance to win some wonderful fabric!!! 
So far I mostly have made all year quilts but am going to start doing some seasonal this year
The only seasonal items that I use is a quilted Christmas tree skirt and a Christmas candle mat.Thanks for the giveaway.
Well if you consider the fishing flannel rag quilt I made my husband as a seasonal quilt, we have it out year around as it hangs over the back of his chair. I have been collectioning fall fabrics since last year for an autumn quilt but have not decided on the pattern yet. lol normally I make a quilt with someone special in mind and give it to that person when I finish it so the fishing quilt is the only one we have. I would love to win some fabric!
I haven’t been quilting long enough to make the seasonal quilts I dream of. I do have a wall hanging quilt on a hanger made for easy change out. The plan is for seasonal/monthly quilts in that spot. Now to find the time to make them all! Thanks for the chance to win some fabrics to get me going on one of them.
I made christmas tree quilts for my granddaughters. Mostly year round quilts.
I like to use seasonal quilts on the wall and change them out often. I like to remake older quilts into pillows that reflect the seasons. I also like to remake older quilts into place mats and even use them as window toppers.
I am making seasonal hanging for my door. Next I will make some season table toppers , if I am really motivated.
Interesting design. I like the bar accents.
I have many seasonal quilts and wall hangings, I love them all. Fall colors are my favorite. I have foster kids and when they come and go they enjoy seeing what is next. We enjoy switching them out for them.
Hi there, I don’t have any seasonal quilts made, just baby quilts and quite a few UFO’s. Needed a reminder to finish up some UFO’s & start that quilt for the Great Grandchild (boy) due next year.
I immigrated to Australia from the uk 5 years ago… So my seasons are “upside down” now.. I mean, who does Christmas in Summer?????? …
I have seasonal throw pillows for the couch, and table runners for the table.
hi there…I do use seasonal quilts to decorate, however for some reason they are only Fall and Christmas ones…lol. I have plans for others but haven’t actually started them yet. Maybe I am drawn to the Fall colours and Christmas fabrics…lol
I love to quilt. I make a lot of quilts for downy quilt for kids that are sick. Love to learn new quilting blocks to sew.
I like to use quilts to decorate for Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving
I have just gotten to the place where I want to try something other than baby quilts… Now want to make seasonal wallhangings and change them out…maybe even go for MONTHLY themes!
I do have several seasonal wall hangings that are used for Christmas, Winter, Halloween, Easter, and Spring. For some reason, I still don’t have a Fourth of July one yet. No bed quilts, though.

I USE A CHRISTMAS WALLHANGING DURING THE CHRISTMAS SEASON. I NEED TO WORK ON MORE SEASONS!
I do use seasonal quilts to decorate my home.
I haven’t started making seasonal quilts or wall hangings yet, but this would be a great reason to start!
I don’t have seasonal quilts but I do have seasonal quilted wall hangings and table mats & runners.
I am working on seasonal quilts for my granddaughter who is a Special Ed teacher!
I enjoy making Christmas quilts as presents. I’d like to try some Fall stuff.
I would love to win a bundle. I haven’t made a christmas quilt yet, or really even any holiday quilt, I’m just beginning. Thanks!
I hang Christmas sampler during Christmas season only
Yummy fabrics. No, I don’t use seasonal quilts to decorate my home. When I can, I buy some fabrics around Christmas and Easter because so many lovely floral prints are available.
Thanks
Love this awesome quilt you are teaching us about. A great pattern.
For holidays I love to put out table toppers, doilys and quilts for the season. I have doilys and table toppers from both my mother and my aunt. And also the ones I have made as well.
thanks for a chance to win the blog candy.

I do not use seasonal quilts to decorate my home. I love table toppers and little quilts best. They are on display in my home year round.
I love to decorate my home for the seasons. I have several bed quilts I use for each season. Also decorate with table runners and placemats. I also enjoy using seasonal table runners for a shelf I have at work and am currenty making a wall hanging for Halloween. Thanks for the chance to win fabric.
I have an apple tree quilt I’m finishing up right now – hopefully I can use it before the end of fall! I would love to have a fun lap sized quilt finished for each season eventually
Looking at this again – it looks so different! I would love to make it in the Red Rooster combo! beautiful!
I like the quilts for the beds to be useful year-round. I am making seasonal wall hangings for use for decoration that I will switch out as time passes.
I have a few wall hangings for Christmas, Easter, Summer. But no quilts (yet). Looking at a couple table runners to make for Christmas .
I sure do decorate with quilts, I seam to have several fall and Christmas. I need to work on spring and summer quilts!
I haven’t made any holiday quilts for my home, yet. I love my quilts and leave them on the chairs, couch and beds throughout the house year round. Nothing is more inviting then a comfy quilt of any flavor.
I do tend to use seasonal quilts, especially at Christmas!
I love seasonal quilts and use them on my family room sofa. They are always being rotated to fit the current season or holiday.
I have made several Christmas wall hangings that I display during December. I like to make seasonal tablerunners because they are quick projects and are easy to change out. I sometimes dream about making a bed-size Christmas quilt but its still just a dream!
I love quits! I usually don’t have quilts that I have made because they all seem to go home with other people! That being said, I do own many quilts and look forward to cooler fall weather to update our bedroom.
Thanks!

I use seasonal fabrics, just in the Spring and Fall, at Christmas also……..sometimes I even change the paint on the walls, my family says that I probly need to sandpaper my walls to get all those layers of paint off…LOL…. but my quilts and curtains are seasonal….and pillows…..
I do use seasonal quilts in my home to decorate, sometimes hanging on the wall and sometimes across the back of the couch or chair.
Love theme fabric:)
I have an appliqué floral basket that my Mama made that I keep up most of the year, except fall & Christmas. Maple leaf for fall & log cabin for Christmas:)
I do use quilts for the changing seasons: Valentine’s Day table runner, 4th of July table runner, Halloween basket liner for the Trick r’ Treats and Christmas–wreath for the door, skirt under the tree and a table topper. Love Quiltmaker magazine and blog!! Thanks for the opportunity to win some fabric. Thanks also for the Back to School quilt.
I’ve got a Christmas wall quilt. Your fabrics inspire me to start one for the fall season.
Yes, Yes, Yes absolutely. I change all the quilts and decorative items with the seasons. This means I can make even more quilted items from quilts, bags, table runners, placemats, door banners…you get the picture. The more the merrier!
The only quilted seasonal that I use, are table runners, and a Christmas tree skirt. Lack of storage space is a big reason.
I can not wait to do this quilt. I was hoping to start it right away but I have a baby shower to do first and then 3 craft sales. So it is first after Xmas. I can’t wait. It would be great to get some awesome fabric to make it with
i’m trying to put seasonal 1: runners on my entry table, 2: table cloths, 3: sofa throws. they don’t have to match, just colored ot themed.
I have christmas quilts half made and appliqued tree skirt, otherwise I make quilts that last all year long (but I am making a Chistmas table runner for a newly wed neighbour).
I only have Christmas quilts! but I make a new one each year!
I am not a seasonal “decorator”. Whatever strikes my fancy is usually what is used.
I think this quilt would make a great gift for a film buff or a photographer you could even plug in photos – I love to take patterns and think outside of the box to make more personalized gifts for people!
I’ve just started making a quilt, but hopefully I’ll have seasonal quilts in the near future. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
Almost all my Quilts are given away. It’s like a cook watching people eat what you have created and smiling .” silence is golden ” I would like to make seasonal wall hangings and change them out during the year . THANKS this is the last day to blog , I’m glad I stopped by . Great site alot of inspiration THANKS again!
I enjoy hanging the seasonal quilts in my school library. Kids like them too!
Actually, no. I don’t have a Christmas quilt but want to make one badly. I have a half finished autumn leaf wall hanging that needs finishing. I love to decorate seasonally and need to decorate with quilts seasonally since I love them so much!
I just finished a project for a silent auction fund raiser for my local genealogical society. It was called a year of table runners. I used seasonal fabrics in all of them. I made a total of 12 table runners. One for each season; Spring, Summer, Sall & Winter, as well as one for each holiday; Valentines, St. Paddys, Easter, Independance Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and a Happy Birthday. They were a great hit at the silent auction and brought in quite a chunk of change. It was a very fun project and one I may decide to repeat.
I love to decorate with seasonal quilts. The vibrant colors of the four seasons are a great palette to work from.
