Christmastime Mini Quilt / Pillow 20" x 20"
My Christmastime Quilt is a bit different from the pattern because I wanted to make mine a bit smaller and square so it could be a Mini Quilt or a Pillow! This is an easy change ... keep on reading for details.

Add a zipper
- I love to add a zippered backing so my Christmastime Mini Quilt can also be a pillow!

I just love this Christmastime Pillow! It's perfect for a bit of seasonal decor in my home. Plus my family loves pillows. I like them to be "decoration only" compared to my kids who like to actually use them as pillows. Another benefit for a zippered backing so I can easily wash the cover ;).
Plus if I need a smaller table topper ... I can just remove the pillow insert!

I love the Christmastime Stitch sooooo much! It's going to be a favorite of mine! Just one more section to stitch and then I will have it completed! I'm hoping to have it finished before Christmas!
