🎄FAT QUARTER CHRISTMAS QUILT | Beginner Friendly Tutorial | Piano Key Border 🎹

🎄☀️ WELCOME! ☀️🎄 I needed to make some room for new fabric. I pulled out this really pretty Christmas Fat Quarter bundle of 21 FQs and came up with a super easy quilt top. I did a little extra and added a piano key border, but you could skip that and just add a pretty complimentary border, or leave it with no border. This quilt top took me 6 hours and 30 minutes WITH the piano key border, and 4 hours 30 minutes WITHOUT the piano key border. See specific times below. FABRIC LINE: CHRISTMAS ADVENTURE - 21 Fat Quarter Bundle - each print approx 18" x 21" - Beverly McCullough ~ Riley Blake Designs. Measurements, I squared 16 of the FQs to 17" x 20". Then I cut vertically to make a 5" strip, a 4" strip, a 3" strips, and two 2.5" strips, all of them 20 inches long. The finished quilt top is approximately 67x89.

I think the border was the "icing on the cake"! So refreshing to see you use the ENTIRE bundle; well done, Annette.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Hi Olivia! Thanks! I was glad to use it all up!!! ☀️💕

[@lindastrous5243]

Am I dreaming! 6:30 am and a Christmas quilt. Maybe I need more coffee. I love it. It’s light, bright and cheerful. Have a great warm day.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

You’re not dreaming 😴 😂 Thanks Linda! ☀️. I can’t wait to finish the bonus potholders! 🌺😍

[@UraniumFire]

Great way to make room so you can buy more fabric!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Definitely!💯

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

I have a box of Christmas gifts all wrapped that I keep adding to in the corner of my bedroom. It's year round planning for me. Thanks for sharing your lovely quilt.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

You’re welcome! ☀️. Getting an early start is a great idea.!

[@paulaneary7877]

Hi Annette! You look very pretty today! I am trying to get in the habit of finishing quilts before I start a new one so that my UFO pile eventually becomes manageable! I have so many ideas running around my brain that I seem to be making a lot of quilt tops! Thanks for the video.❤

[@sunbeamfabricart]

☀️💕Thanks Paula! I wish I could get into that finishing UFOs habit as well!!! 😂🤩. We can do it! 🏋🏼

[@connieking9873]

Nailed it again. What I loved the most was you managed to use the whole bundle. Was great idea using the piano key board border and a pot holder. Shorts and barefoot is my kind of day. We had 34 degrees yesterday fans going for fruit trees and grape vineyards as they are all in bloom then rain so was an inside day. Bowl cozies from scraps are in progress for me again today. Thanks for video.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thanks so much Connie! ☀️💕 🛬 I just landed in Seattle for a weekend visit to my daughter, so no shorts at the moment 😻⛈️. I really liked using up all 21 FQ’s for SURE!!! The potholders will be so cute!! 🎄 keep those grapes warm!!! 🍷 🤩

[@connieking9873]

[@sunbeamfabricart]

☀️Thank you!

[@seatleonstella1819]

Thank you for the lovely tutorial.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

You’re welcome 😊

[@DH-qz2so]

Not too early to start thinking about making quilt for the holidays/holiday gift giving...as it takes me quite a long time to start and finish a quilt... if we start them too late in the season, they won't be ready in time! Also, it is all about using what we have in our stash, regardless of the season! I have a super sweet Christmas bundle, that I have had for years! Maybe it is time to get into it!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Maybe it’s time! I think you might be right!☀️💯

[@rachelburgener819]

Annette, this was fantabulous! Whodathunk!?!?!!! Thank You for such quality time and energy you put into teaching us! 🥰❤️😀

Bonjour Annette. Hé bien je vois que le changement climatique atteint aussi la quilteuse que vous êtes ! 🤣🤣 Belle idée que l’on peut accommoder à toutes les saisons je pense… beau travail et merci pour ce partage. Régine 🇫🇷entre👩‍🌾jardin et 🧵couture.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Merci Régine !☀️ Je suis d'accord que ce plan facile est polyvalent. J'aimerais faire une mise en page de 20 blocs sans bordure et voir ! 🧐 💡Maintenant, retour au soleil ! ☀️
