The year was 1991. I had just started my first quilt that summer. I became obsessed with quilting and was almost instantly creating my own designs. As Christmas approached that year, I had learned a bit about crazy patchwork and had the idea to put together a crazy patched Santa scene. It was all done "on the fly" with no real pattern. I sketched a few ideas, but most of this was created without templates or patterns. It was complex and for years I felt it would be near impossible to turn into a pattern. On a humorous note, if I could figure all this out and make it happen, why didn't I find a way to give Rudolph hind legs?
Finally, a couple years ago, I did turn this into a pattern. There are minor changes to make it feasible in a pattern, but those differences are practically unnoticeable. The pattern is full size and the method is primarily foundation piecing. Quilt is 40" x 46".
