Make It Your Own

For the farmhouse look shown, cut the plates from 16 fat quarters: 5 red, 3 green, 2 olive, 2 gold and 4 cream. Scrappy prints and plaids with little trees, reindeer and berries give every plate its cozy cabin charm against the cream background. Finish 8 plates with red centers and 8 with gold, then frame them with cream, dark green and cream sashing, red-and-cream Nine Patch cornerstones and a red binding.

Because the plates come from fat quarters, this is a lovely way to use a Christmas fat-quarter bundle or the red, green, olive, gold and cream prints already in your stash.

Appliqué each plate and center by hand for a slow, heirloom finish, or by machine with a blanket or zigzag stitch when Christmas is coming fast. Both methods are explained. Background squares are cut at 13″ and trimmed to 12½″ after appliqué, so every block comes out perfectly square.

For a matching farmhouse table, pair it with our Buffalo Check Log Cabin table runner and placemats in barn red.

The product images show a fabric-colorway and styling idea. Fabrics are not supplied; choose your own prints to create your version.
