Santa’s Sleigh – OBW #127

As soon as I saw this panel I wanted it! I love the colors and the Santa! Santa’s Sleigh is by Rubin Design Studio’s exclusively for eQuilter. BUT, then I noticed the reindeer! Why were they behind the Santa’s sleigh??? I decided it must be a shift change. After all we know male reindeer lose their antlers in winter. So, this must be the female reindeer showing up to have Santa’s Back!

I cut my strips 3.25″ using my First Choice rulers for 5″ finished hexies. This panel yielded 176 hexies.

The 5″ finished star 60 units were made with my Star 60 tool.

I made the Santa’s face hexies by stitching together two triangles to create a diamond. Then adding side triangles to create 5″ triangles, making it a 10″ finished Star 60 hexie.

I made 5″ finished Hollow Cube 60’s to represent Santa tossing presents from the sleigh. The cubes were made using the Star 60 tool and the Hollow Cube 60 Technique Sheet.

I love this Santa’s Sleigh OBW Quilt. You can never have too many Santa quilts. Santa’s Sleigh measures 88″ x 70″. I Finish all my quilts with Quilters Dream Batting and Superior Omni thread.

    I just love what you’ve done with this panel. You have inspired me to try an OBW, which I am working on now, I find the whole process fascinating. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and process. Happy holidays, Rachelle in England.
