Everything from a weekend of ornaments to a block-of-the-month sampler you'll be working on until November — traditional reds and greens, Scandinavian woodland, gingerbread and Santas, vintage nostalgia. Whatever style your Christmas looks like, the pattern for it is probably in here.

One thing worth keeping in mind while you browse: a full-size quilt runs ten to fourteen weeks start to finish, so late August is the last comfortable window for the big projects. Smaller pieces — runners, stockings, wall hangings — have room to spare. Match the project to the time you've actually got, then pair it with our Christmas thread.
