Advent Calendar Quilt Pattern - PDF

This fun seasonal quilt has present shaped pockets to hold your tree ornaments and other advent treasures! I designed this quilt one year while we were living away from home during Christmas and we didn't have a tree! It has since become a favorite tradition for our family--the kids love counting down the days until Christmas by removing the ornaments* from the pockets and hanging them on the tree!*Any ornaments can be used. I used decorative gift tags available at Costco, Sam's Club, etc. They are lightweight, sturdy and inexpensive and fit perfectly in the pockets.Finished Measurements: 40" x 55"Fabric/Supplies: 40+ coordinating 5" charm squares2 ⅓ yards white solid½ yard green fabriccoordinating scraps (tree trunk, bows & numbers)1 ¾ yards backing⅓ yard bindingCrib size batting (45 x 60")1 ¼ yards paper-backed fusible web (17" wide)Water-soluble marking penMatching thread36 buttons (⅜"- ½" mix of red, green, white)24 ornaments of choice*Yardage requirements are based on 42" wide fabric.Walking Foot (optional)Yard stick (optional)
