Light Up a Christmas Quilt with This Fun Block
Choose Between Two Block Sizes!
Celebrate the season with this fun and nostalgic quilt block. The colorful old-fashioned Christmas tree lights will add a whimsical touch to many types of projects.
Four light bulbs make up a block, making each block colorful and sure to be noticed. Use them in a runner, table topper, and much more. Or make one block into a mini quilt, with or without added borders.
You can also break the blocks apart and use each light bulb individually, as Patricia Leonard did for her festive jacket.
Instructions are provided by Burlap and Blossoms Patterns for both 6″ and 12″ finished blocks (with four light bulbs each). The blocks are created with standard piecing.
A second pattern by the same designer features one large light bulb. Instructions are provided for 6″, 12″, 18″, and 24″ square finished blocks.
