I have my Vintage Christmas Quilt all done and it is so fun along side of all of my Vintage Christmas Trucks!
This was a fun quilt to make even though it had a million pieces! (That might be a slight exaggeration!) But it does have a lot of little pieces to piece together. My friend Kathy, and I went to the cabin a few weeks ago and got our quilts all cut out and we got one of the truck blocks all put together so we knew how to do it.
I saw this vintage truck on main street in Lehi, Utah and I knew it would be the perfect place to take pictures. So, I went inside, and asked if I could take pictures and they very graciously said that I could! Don’t you just love this truck?
The pattern for this Vintage Christmas quilt is from Erica Made Designs. It is a great pattern and is very detailed. My friend and I were able to read the directions and put the pieces together!
Size-wise this quilt is perfect…it is 69″ x 74″ and it is a fat quarter friendly quilt. Great for wrapping up in front of the fireplace on a cold wintery night!
Here is the full open quilt. For some reason, this quilt just invokes fond memories for me! I learned how to drive a stick in my dad’s old pick-up truck. Oh, those were the days!
This close-up shows some of the quilting. I did an all-over stipple pattern in the middle of the quilt, with a loopy pattern on the two borders.
Here is the quilt in my kitchen. I put it on one of my antique ladders for display and I love it! This really makes me happy! :)
Are you getting ready for the holidays? This Vintage Christmas Quilt has made me ready, but for the nostalgic side of Christmas not the commercial.
My daughter sent me a text the other day with this cute little antique firetruck and asked if I wanted it…well…YES!!!
She found someone selling it on Facebook!
I love that she is always looking out for her mother!!! :)
Thanks for Visiting…Merry Vintage Christmas!
Absolutely love your vintage autos and trucks. The quilt is the perfect finishing!

I just love this quilt. You are obviously so gifted! Thank you for sharing.
Sherry, I don’t know how gifted I am…insane maybe!! :) But I can follow most patterns. Thanks for taking the time to write your kind comment. This quilt is one of my favorites. It took some time to make it, but I will always treasure it!
Great job on your quilt. I started this one a few months ago, but got frustrated with pressing all the little pieces on the truck blocks, and put it away. I couldn’t get them accurate – especially the little trees. The pattern doesn’t say to press them open, but I feel they need to be. Do you have any suggestions?? Now that I’ve see yours, it makes me want to get mine out of the UFO pile 😉. Maybe it will be done for next Christmas!
Liz, That truck and tree block are hard to get right. My friend and I had to unpick each of our a few times especially on the first one. After that we seemed to get the hang of it a little better. Yes, you need to press the seams good. I can’t remember if we pressed all of the seams open or just pressed them to the dark side, but either way, you need to press each seam good! That will help with the piecing. Good luck!
How can I get this quilt pattern?! I love it.
Kathy, There is a link in this post to the quilt pattern.
Hi, love your quilt! I’m loving the red truck. My dad had one when I was a kid, we went and we a Christmas tree in it. That was in Ohio and it was snowing like crazy.
Sweet memory!
Thank full pop is still with us but the truck is long gone.
Paula, Thank you so much for sharing your sweet memory with us!! I loved it. I am glad you still have your dad and that you can continue to make beautiful memories.
Just saw this on Pinterest ❤️❤️❤️
I’m definitely going to need to make this! My husband has a red 1951 Ford truck and it would look awesome at our farm 😍
Debbie, You definitely need to make this!!! It would be soooo awesome!!!
I don’t have my Christmas truck quilt with me and want to pick up the right size of templates before cutting it out. Can you tell me what ones I need?
Marion, this quilt does not use templates. It is entirely pieced. You would have to purchase the pattern to get all of the sizes for the quilt pieces. Hope this helps.
