Classic Laura Ashley Style for Christmas

For more than 70 years, Laura Ashley has been known for timeless design, signature prints, and a distinctly British approach to home and lifestyle. Tales of Yuletide brings that design heritage to Christmas quilting with sophisticated prints inspired by the warmth, tradition, and nostalgia of the holiday season.

Rich deep reds, forest greens, and creams create a traditional Christmas palette that feels elegant rather than overly whimsical—beautiful for quilts and projects you'll want to bring out year after year.

Florals, Ornaments & Woodland Christmas Prints

Tales of Yuletide layers classic Christmas imagery with the refined patterns associated with Laura Ashley. The collection includes Astley Floral, Baubles, Harlington, Landford, Ticking, Bowen Star, and Wickerwork designs. Harlington features a damask-like woodland motif with animals, leaves, and berries, while other prints incorporate florals, ornaments, stars, stripes, and traditional geometric designs.

Together, these prints create a coordinated Christmas collection that works beautifully for quilts, table runners, stockings, tree skirts, pillows, placemats, home décor, and handmade holiday gifts.

Tales of Yuletide Precuts & One-Yard Bundles

Create beautiful Christmas projects with Tales of Yuletide precuts and coordinating fabric bundles, including Rolie Polies, 5-Inch and 10-Inch Stackers, Fat Quarter Bundles, and curated one-yard bundles in Cream, Forest, and Red. Shop our selection of precut friendly quilt patterns to find designs made for jelly rolls, charm packs, layer cakes, and fat quarters.

The one-yard bundles are especially nice here because they allow quilters to build projects around a specific Christmas color story while still enjoying a coordinated assortment of prints.

A Christmas Cheater Print for Easy Quilting Projects

Tales of Yuletide also includes the Yuletide Star Cheater Print, designed to give the appearance of beautifully pieced patchwork without requiring every section to be individually pieced. The storyboard shows the design with an approximately 24" × 43½" repeat.

Cheater prints are wonderful for quick Christmas quilts, table toppers, pillows, bags, and other holiday projects when you want the look of detailed patchwork with considerably less piecing.

107/108-Inch Laura Ashley Christmas Wide Backing

Finish your Christmas quilt with the coordinating Tales of Yuletide Harlington 107/108" Wide Back. The Multi Harlington design carries the collection's elegant woodland aesthetic onto extra-wide fabric, helping eliminate the need to piece standard-width yardage for many quilt backs.

Make the Tales of Yuletide Quilt

The collection also coordinates with the Yuletide Quilt Kit, a 64" × 72" confident-beginner project featuring a Tales of Yuletide 10-Inch Stacker with coordinating yardage. The kit includes the pattern and fabric for the quilt top and binding.
