Peppermint Pines

I was so inspired by all the Christmas quilts being pieced last November at retreat. When I got home I pulled my box of Christmas fabrics and organized fabrics for several Christmas quilts to start piecing in January.

The first one on the list is Peppermint Pines. Deanna was sewing this quilt and I thought it was so cute! The pattern says it is a beginner friendly pattern and it is. It is fun to be making a quilt that sews together fast.

The pinwheel blocks are completed. Piecing the pine tree alternate blocks is in progress, I'll show you in those in the next post.

The gray fabrics were pulled from my stash, they are a little darker then what the picture shows.

This block is striking! It would make a beautiful quilt without the pines but I can't wait to see the whole quilt. ~Jeanne

Great idea to work on a Christmas quilt over the year. I'll be interested to see this one progress.

Good idea to start your Christmas quilts now. I am still trying to finish the ones I started for Xmas '22! This should be a fun one to see grow as you work on it.

Great block! I love that your background is low value rather than white. Looking forward to seeing your quilt :)

I really like that quilt. It is nice that it will stitch up quickly.

Peppermint Pines is a cute pattern. I am sure your quilt will turn out very pretty! Have a great week-end. Still long arming! Almost to the burn out stage, but have to keep going! Hugs
