Day 29 ~ 149 Days Until Christmas ~ Getting Ready

This is my Christmas in July Quilt Conundrum

Today I went spelunking in my fabric stash cave

and came up with these treasured gems.

I am making a Christmas Quilt, in August, actually.

My daughter and I are both sewing along

and making Christmas quilts with the

The Ultimate Beginners Quilt Along @ Fat Quarter Shop

They have released the 

Beginner Quilt Fabric Requirements & Coloring Sheets PDF

They also have a lovely kit in solids

Ultimate Beginner Quilt Kit for Fat Quarter Shop

but I want to make a Christmas quilt and I want to sew my stash.

So I went stash splunking today and came up with these choices: 

(1) North Pole by Stacy Hsu for Moda Fabrics,
which was my favorite Christmas collection from last year
and I scooped up these beauties in the after Christmas sales.
I would add a white solid for the sashing, I think
The print on the upper left is enough for the backing.
I think I would use the red text print as the binding
and the green snow print on the right as the outer border.

(2) Kringles Sweet Shop by Maude Asbury for Blend Fabrics.

This is all yardage and I think there is a gray cookie print that eluded me 

in my search. If I picj this one I will have to explore my stash closet again.

The red and white basic is a Christmas Basics by Lori Holt for Riley Blake fabrics.

I might use a white solid instead. 

(3) Ring the Holly Days by Mary Carey for Henry Glass Fabrics.

The pretty metallic vines is a yard of Bonnie and Camille's Vintage Holiday 

and it is a good color match for the sashing or border.

The red and green dot is another Christmas Basic by Lori Holt for Riley Blake.

(4)  Season's Greetings by Sentimental Studio for Moda Fabrics.

This fat quarter bundle was bought on deep clearance a few years ago 

and I know I have a couple of yards of one of the blue background

fabrics ... somewhere.  I will find it if I pick this one.

The colors are very rich and it has an old-timey Christmas vibe.

I have always wanted to make a quilt with this but I have just never gotten 'round to it.

(5) Last bit not least is this lovely

Glad Tidings FQ Bundle by Brenda Riddle for Moda Fabrics.

I love Brenda Riddle's designs and colors.

If I pick this I will have to look for fabrics to match it.

It should be an easy with these colors 

or I might go find one of these prints online.

I would likely use white or gray sashing as there are light gray prints 

as well as white.

Well those are the choices!

Which would you choose?

I will, of course, also be consulting with my quilty kitty helpers,

my hubby and anyone who stops by.
