My New Favorite Christmas Quilt Pattern: Piecing Together the Adelyn Kay Quilt in Holiday Hues

There is nothing better than those first few chilly evenings when you start dreaming about cozying up under a beautiful handmade quilt. And if you’re like me, those dreams quickly turn into, “What’s my next Christmas quilt pattern going to be?”

Well, I think I have found the perfect fit for this year’s holiday quilt project!

I’m so excited to tell you about the Adelyn Kay Quilt Pattern. I paired it with the gorgeous Christmas Morning collection by Lela Boutique for Moda Fabrics, and honestly? It’s magic. This is truly the ideal project for some relaxing Christmas quilting.

The Pattern: Adelyn Kay—Starry & Simple Enough for a Confident Weekend

The Adelyn Kay Quilt Pattern is proof that a modern quilt doesn’t have to be intimidating!

The pattern uses one of the best building blocks in quilting—the Half Square Triangle (HST)—to create this fantastic “starry design.” It’s modern, it’s clean, and it really lets those festive fabrics shine.

Why I absolutely love this Christmas Quilt Pattern:

• Confident Beginner-Friendly: Don’t let the sharp points scare you! If you can maintain an accurate 1/4″ seam (which, let’s be real, is always the biggest battle!), and you know your way around HSTs, you’re golden. The instructions are super clear.
• Size Options: It’s great that it comes in three sizes right away. You can make a small wall hanging or a big, snuggly throw:
  • Baby (42″ square)
  • Small Throw (56″ square)
  • Large Throw (70″ square)
• Fabric Friendly: It works perfectly with fat quarters, which is always a bonus when you find a bundle you just have to buy!

The Fabrics: Wrapping Up in a Christmas Morning Vibe

I picked the Christmas Morning collection by Lela Boutique because it has that beautiful, slightly muted vintage look. It’s not loud and flashy—it captures the quiet, serene feeling of being up before dawn on Christmas morning.

The colors are stunning and make this Christmas quilt pattern feel so elegant:

• Instead of fire-engine red, I get rich Cranberry and deep wines.
• The greens are soft Sage and cozy Pine.
• It’s all set off by crisp Snow White and a touch of silvery sparkle.

The prints are adorable, too—little holly sprigs, sweet doves, and some “Fa La La” text prints mixed in. Pairing these classic prints with the modern geometry of the Adelyn Kay pattern gives you a quilt that feels both current and instantly classic. I think this combination makes for the most beautiful Christmas quilt.

Ready to Start Your Starlight Christmas?

If you’re ready to create a beautiful, memory-making Christmas quilt this season, this pairing is my highest recommendation. Grab that Christmas Morning bundle (or whatever holiday fabric you’re hoarding!) and let’s start sewing some stars.
