I searched for a Santa quilt block with no success, but knew I'd seen gnome quilt blocks around the traps. I ended up modifying this gnomeling quilt block to make the Santa. I also googled Christmas tree block, the star was a simple nine patch star. I've quilted it in straight lines that are roughly 1/2 an inch apart, and it's bound in red and white candy stripes. Now it's due for a wash so I can see how crinkly it turns out! After the wash, I'll sew on a little bell to the top of Santa's hat, and maybe a little gold belt buckle.

Quilted Christmas Wall Hanging
Inspired by the simplicity of this quilted wall hanging I saw over at Tallgrass Prairie Studio the other day, I decided to make myself a Christmas version.
