Holiday Party Quilt Pattern Skill Level - Moderate

As I mentioned before, this Holiday Party quilt pattern is written for those with a "Moderate" skill level. There are three elements to this pattern that make the skill level slightly more difficult than other SQ patterns labeled as "Easy."

Trending patterns!

  1. These blocks use more pieces. I truly believe that as you make these party blocks you will feel huge amounts of satisfaction. Each one is beautiful, unique, and a stand-alone work of skill and creativity!
  2. There is some unique trimming that must be done precisely. This is covered in the video, but if you are brand new to quilting, this will be very different than what you're used to.
  3. These blocks have a lot of seams to match. I have every confidence that you can do it – especially if you take your time and press the same way as the pattern and video instructs.

This wintery blue Holiday Party throw quilt was made by Kim Vogelsang. Kim says, "I love this quilt pattern so much I wanted to be able to use this quilt all winter long, not just during the holidays. This lead me to choose fabrics that are more "wintery" than "Christmasy" but still give the quilt a little sparkle, which is where the Essex Metallic Linen comes in.

I also thought it would be cool to include as many local elements in this quilt as possible. I chose designer Amanda Castor's Winterland fabric collection because in addition to being perfect for my "wintery theme," she's also from Indiana, my home state!

Crimson Tate, the fabric shop where I got this collection, is also in Indiana as well as the longarm quilter, Heather Alexander. Heck, I think I should just expand on that idea and call it a "regional " quilt to include Suzy, the pattern designer, because she's just over the border in Chicago!

After quickly selling out, this kit will be available again soon at Crimson Tate. You can reach out to the shop directly to be added to a pre-order list.

Pastel Holiday Party Quilt

Next up is another beautiful example of the multi-color fat quarter version. Laura Hopper collaborated with the fabric shop, Global Fiber Textiles & Notions, to make a scrumptious pastel Holiday Party quilt.

Laura is the queen of cozy and opted for beautifully textured fabrics including Essex linen, double-brushed flannel (oooh la la!) and shot cotton, in addition to some quilt-weight poplin. The backing fabric is from the collection Little Town by Amy Sinibaldi for Art Gallery Fabrics.

Longarm quilting was done by Winberie Quilting, using an edge-to-edge design called Modern Tile. This is a great quilting design if you want to keep this quilt on display all year round rather than seasonally.

    What color is the Essex Metallic Linen used in the first quilt? Crystal or Vintage white or Opal, something else? Thanks!

    • Catalina Urias says:

      Hi Barbara! Unfortunately, we don’t have a record of which exact color was used. My best guess is that it was Crystal. But you couldn’t go wrong with Vintage White either! Opal is much more yellow, so probably not the best option if you want to replicate this quilt. Happy quilting! 🙂
