Red And Green Yuletide Quilt Pattern
"I'm excited to introduce my latest creation: the Red and Green Yuletide Quilt Pattern. This pattern is inspired by the classic chandelier quilt also known as the bead quilt design. It brings together ten vibrant shades of reds and greens to create a stunning, eye-catching piece that's perfect for Christmas. For years, every time I saw a chandelier quilt, I fell in love with it. Each one was so stunning. I was determined that one day I would make one too. "

Materials List

10 fat quarters this can be all the same color, or each one can be a different color and print.
I had quite a few fat quarters (FQ) of fabric to use up. To give this quilt a fun and scrappy look, I used 5 FQ in different shades of green and 5 FQ in different shades of red.
3 ½ yards of background fabric in a neutral color. I used part of a jelly roll in Kona Snow along with 1 ¾ yards of matching Kona Snow fabric. The jelly roll strips worked nicely for making the blocks, while the fabric worked well for the corner triangles and triangles on each side of the diagonal rows.
