Golden Quilts

A Beary Merry Christmas
From Quick Quilts
1997 Fall/Holiday Issue

Designed by:
Mary Jobe Mason

Finished Size 27" x 27"

A Beary Merry Christmas
With such an adorable wall hanging to welcome the holiday season, everyone in your home will soon be in the Christmas spirit! The exploding star sparkles with a metallic red fabric, and the selectively-cut teddy bears echo the playful border.

Planning
There are so many Christmas novelty prints available. This wall hanging gives you the opportunity to highlight a favorite design --- angel, teddy, Santa, etc., or just use traditional Christmas colors. Keep in mind the smallest square is 2" finished. If selectively cutting motifs, make sure the design fits in the 2" window.

A few of the squares in Mary's quilt are cut 3 5/16". Don't let cutting to the 16th of an inch intimidate you! Remember, 3 1/4" is the same as 3 4/16". Move your gridded ruler up a smidgen to fall halfway between the 3 1/4" (3 4/16") and 3 3/8" (3 6/16") markings.
