🎄 Holly Quilt — PDF Quilt Pattern
10" squares · 5 sizes from Baby to King · Traditional pieced · Beginner-friendly construction
The Holly quilt is the simplest way to a Christmas quilt that looks planned: red and green four-patches alternating with cream squares, so the colour links up in diagonal chains across the whole quilt.
Cut each 10" square into four 5" squares, sew them back together as a four-patch mixing your prints, and alternate with plain cream squares. Two block types, straight seams, nothing else.
The Throw needs only 25 squares — less than one pack — and with a different collection the same pattern makes a quilt for any season.
