PECAN BLOSSOMS TURNED CHRISTMAS

Created to accompany my AGATHA ROAD fabric collection, the PECAN BLOSSOMS quilt pattern definitely has my heart and will go down as one of my all-time favorite design creations. Once in a while a pattern will feel so unique and so very much “me” and this is definitely one of them.

One of my favorite things ever is seeing my fabric friends completely rethink one of my patterns and seeing PECAN BLOSSOMS in my favorite Christmas fabrics was just breathtaking! A huge shout-out to Cynthia for this beauty!

For our 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS SALE this year, we knew we absolutely had to gather our last bolts of the needed Buon Natale fabrics and make up as many kits as we could. You guys…they went SO. FAST.

I’ve had a lot of requests for a step-by-step fabric swap to source your own Christmas PECAN BLOSSOMS using BUON NATALE, so here you are. Enjoy!

NOTE: The yardage requirements listed below are to complete the 9-block version, finishing at 67 1/2″ x 67 1/2″. Please note that these yardage requirements vary slightly from the original pattern as we added a few extra prints to our Christmas version!
