Each of these free Christmas quilt patterns is easy to adapt to a different type of project. Select one square or motif (and adjust the size on a copier if need be), and make a throw pillow, mug rug, table mat or mini wall hanging. Put several squares together and make a table runner. Or, adapt any of them into a full sized quilt. Or mix them up. The paper pieced snowflake would look great alternated with appliqued mittens (using coordinated fabrics, of course!).
