Ok, so this isn't really a Christmas project, but it's definitely classified as scrappy sewing - this project made a  little dint in my pink scraps (and I have a lot of pink scrappiness in my cupboards)

Lizzy moved into her room just before Martin was born and it's been a work in progress since then.  It's a room without much of a theme - just a unifying colour - in Lizzy's eyes if something is pink it's more than welcome in her room!

Without a doubt, Patchwork is the best way to get through your scraps.  I'm not a patchworker by any means, but decided to have a go at some cushions.  They had to be pink of course, in candy spots and stripes.  I really love the crispness of white as a background
They're a little bit wonky (mum  - I get what you mean by accuracy in cutting and seam allowances now!) but they were made and received with  love.  In my mind, that equals scrap - busting success!

They're really cute! My Mum is always telling me about accuracy too, and making me unpick my quilt tops to make them square!
