2 New Christmas Quilt Projects
I recently opened the Open Gate Quilts subscription box for November and was really happy with the quilt projects inside! I also did a video showing everything that you might enjoy!
Feathered Star 28″ x 28″
There was fabric and a pattern for a Feathered Star wall hanging that is 28″ x 28″. The pattern also includes a modified Feather Star if you prefer that.
Feathered Star Pieces
I couldn’t wait to cut the fabrics and get to work on the Feathered Star.
Piecing the Feathered Star
Here is the center of the wall hanging before I added the borders.
Quilted and Finished
I really like the way the wall hanging turned out after being quilted!
Aurifil thread and extra fabric
In the box was a spool of Aurifil thread and an extra fat quarter of holiday fabric.
Decorate the Tree
The next quilt project was a cute little 6″ x 9″ wall hanging called Decorate the Tree. The kit included everything needed to make it including the 6″ Star Hanger from Ackfeld Manufacturing. I found the 12″ Star Hanger from Ackfeld here.
Applique
My Ever Sewn Sparrow 25 sewing machine makes a beautiful blanket stitch and I used that around the tree.
Save this for later!
I'll email you this post so you can come back to it later.
Don't worry, I promise not to spam you.
Quilted
Here is the tree all appliqued and quilted, I just have to add the binding.
Finished Wall Hanging
Isn’t this just adorable! I added 2 little strips to go over the wooden dowel and stitched them down.
A Peek at the Backs
I used fabrics in my stash for the backing on the Feathered Star, the Decorate the Tree quilt project included the backing.
Open Gate Quilts Subscription
I am very happy with the Open Gate Quilts subscription, the cost is $52 and there were 2 different quilt projects. I can’t wait for the next months box!

The wall hanging and Christmas projects were beautiful . I always like reading your comments.Have a wonderful Holiday.
I’ve been collecting star patterns for some time and “eventually” will be able to make a quilt – this will be perfect for the center!!
Love the little machine – as I take mine to sewing club this looks great! Any more info would be great (I went to the website and saw most of the info – just want the “Inside Scoop!” .
Thanks, great pattern to start off the Holiday!
Those are such beautiful projects, I especially love the star!
They are both so beautiful! Love you quilting!
Your Feathered Star wall hanging is beautiful! How do you hang it? I couldn’t tell by looking at the back?
