The Everyday Sewist Episode 15: Parade of Christmas Quilts and more

The quilt behind me is a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt called Good Fortune. This mystery ran in 2018-2019 and was completed in 2019. It is now listed as a digital pattern in her store. Her quilt finishes at 73 x 73. https://quiltville.com/shop.html?~~mo... If you don't know how to download a digital pattern be sure to read her instructions on how to do it before you buy the pattern.
I made my quilt larger by adding the Pinwheel border, the solid green border and the black border. It finishes at 98 x 98.
The 2025-26 mystery quilt info is here: https://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/lup.... Read all of her info. It is available for free until the mystery is revealed and then it switches to a paid pattern!
Finishes: Christmas Postcard was a workshop with the very talented Leigh Layton who is a member of my quilt guild. She recommends using Peltex 70 which you can find here: https://amzn.to/3Mujz4l You can also use Peltex 71 which has a fusible on 1 side. It is often available at Hobby Lobby or Michael's along with Wonder Under, also needed.
My second finish is a Broken Dishes quilt made with Super Dinos fabric line. I used this tutorial: https://www.missouriquiltco.com/blogs...
For the smaller broken dishes blocks in fall colors I started with 5" squares and made Half Square Triangles in a traditional method.
WIPs:
Block A Day: The paper pieced trees are no longer available but there are tons of patterns on the internet if you search for "paper pieced tree block". Mine are trimmed at 3" and finish at 2.5" when sewn into the quilt. There is no pattern for the crumb blocks.

Parade of Christmas Quilts
1. 4 patch chain: I couldn't find the pattern. Alternate a four patch of 3.5" cut squares with a double four patch. I used one white on white fabric for 3.5" squares in the four patch. I used the same red and various whites for the small 4 patch made with 2" strips.
2. Scrappy table runner: It's similar to Take Five only sized smaller. Sorry, I no longer have the pattern.
3. Wreath: This pattern is the most similar to the one I made. I cut my squares at 3.5" to make a larger quilt. https://materialgirlquilts.com/blog/2...
4. Fat Quarter Shop sew along: https://blog.fatquartershop.com/chris.... I used my favorite Fig Tree fabrics for this one.
5. Dresden Plate topper: I did not make it so I have no resources for it but it should be easy to find a pattern for one.
6. Chain table runner: no resource
7. Temecula Quilt Company Sew Along: Burgoyne Surrounded block. Couldn't find it on her blog.
8. Garden Box:https://www.etsy.com/listing/56066922...
