The Holly Holiday Quilt
The Holly Holiday Quilt by Violet Craft is a festive quilt pattern using bright colors against a white background to create a visual POP! with a midcentury feel.
The quilt pattern utilizes quarter circle piecing inspired by the traditional Drunkard’s Path block. Although the shape is similar to the Drunkard’s Path and the curved piecing technique is the same, the Holly Holiday Block is trimmed, pieced and combined in a unique way.
Although the pattern is written to use the four blocks with berries turned outward, the blocks can be combined in a number of ways to create a completely different feel to the quilt.
A single block also makes a great pillow cover!
The original quilt was released with Violet’s collection, Christmas on Brambleberry Ridge at International Quilt Market in Houston, TX, October 2015.
Finished cover quilt measures approximately 55" x 55".
