Quilted Advent Calendar

The idea of this quilted Advent Calendar is that a child will get a little treat every day of December in the run up to Christmas.

Making the Backing for Your Advent Calendar

Once the backing was quilted and I’d done another trial run of the pocket sizes using paper, I started cutting out my fabric.

BEFORE you cut your fabric you need to make a decision about whether you want to do kind of concertina-style expanding pockets or flat pockets.

I did some pockets with classic straight lines with a walking foot and for some I practiced different free motion quilting designs.
