Etsy Feature – Advent Calendar Quilt Pattern

This fun seasonal quilt has present shaped pockets to hold your tree ornaments and other advent treasures!
I decided to make 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.

You can purchase the pattern for this quilt via Etsy

Some Mondays feel a little more “Monday” than others — the laundry pile is high, the inbox is full, and your sewing machine is calling your name louder than usual. That’s when a quick scroll through Fat Quarter Shop’s Precut of the Week is the perfect pick-me-up. It’s affordable, fun, and full of possibilities.

Every Monday brings a new deal, and half the excitement is seeing what pops up. Maybe it’s a jelly roll from a fabric line you’ve adored from afar. Maybe it’s a charm pack that would be perfect for a quick weekend project. Or maybe it’s the fat quarter bundle you swore you’d buy “someday.”

For more ways to use these deals creatively, here are some great internal reads:
