Now that Christmas Morning fabric is in shops, I figured I should show you the Gift Swap quilt in these fabrics. Goodness, I didn’t think initially that I would need to make another Gift Swap quilt, but I’m starting to seriously reconsider!

Gift Swap Quilt in Christmas Morning Fabric

Gift Swap vs. Nice List

The Gift Swap quilt is a mini-block version of my Nice List quilt. Nice List’s finished block is 9-1/2″ x 9-1/2″ and can be made with a Layer Cake (i.e. precut 10″ squares). Gift Swap’s finished blocks are half that size (4-1/2″ x 5-5/8″ including the bow) and can be made with 2 charm packs (84 squares 5″ x 5″), 11 fat quarters, or scraps. I went with a grey background for both quilts since Christmas Morning fabric has a lot of pretty lighter prints I didn’t want to leave out. The mockup uses 2 charm packs. There were a couple grey prints I didn’t want to use (they blend too closely with the background) so I added a fat quarter of the cranberry red “Comfort” print to replace a few of those.

Materials Needed

I wanted to give a complete materials list of Christmas Morning fabric SKUs to make this exact version. You can provide this list to your local quilt shop to help put a kit together:

Finished block: 4-1/2″ x 5-5/8″

Finished quilt: 54-1/2″ x 65-1/4″

• 2 charm packs of Christmas Morning fabric (you can use 11 fat quarters for a less-scrappy look)
• (4) fat quarters for assorted bow prints (SKUs #5146-11 “Comfort” in “Snow,” #5147-21 “Magic Dot” in “Snow,” #5147-15 “Magic Dot” in “Pine,” and #5147-16 “Magic Dot” in “Cranberry”)
• 2-1/8 yards background fabric (SKU #5147-13 “Magic Dot” in “Dove”)
• 3/4 yard binding fabric (SKU #5148-14 “Yuletide Stripe” in “Dove”)
• 4-1/2 yards backing fabric (I would recommend one of the grey prints like #5140-13 “Snow Blossoms” in “Dove” or #5140-12 “Lovey Dovey” in “Silver.”)
• 63″ x 74″ batting

For another mockup idea, here’s how it looks with a darker background – Moda Bella Solid “Charcoal.”

The Original Gift Swap

Check out the first Gift Swap quilt I made using Rifle Paper Co’s Holiday Classics collection. I don’t know about you but I love seeing how different a quilt can look in different collections. This is a good example of how it looks with a light background. Full details for this version is available here.
