Naughty and Nice Quilt Pattern by Marsha Moore for Michael Miller Fabrics

Naughty and Nice is a festive, intermediate-level quilting pattern designed by Marsha Moore and released by Michael Miller Fabrics as a free downloadable PDF. The finished quilt top measures a generous 48 inches by 48 inches, making it an ideal holiday throw or wall hanging. The design draws its cheerful, seasonal character from the Under the Mistletoe fabric collection by Michael Miller Fabrics, blending classic Christmas color palettes with playful, modern patterning.

About the Design

The Naughty and Nice quilt is a single, cohesive holiday design constructed as a quilt top. As noted in the pattern, the digital representation of the quilt top is provided for reference, and actual fabric appearance may vary slightly. The finished square format — 48" x 48" — lends itself beautifully to display as a lap quilt, a decorative throw, or a seasonal wall hanging. The intermediate difficulty rating means the pattern is best suited to quilters who are comfortable with precise cutting, accurate piecing, and working with multiple fabrics simultaneously.

Fabric Requirements and Materials

One of the most distinctive features of this pattern is its rich, multi-fabric palette. The design calls for sixteen different fabrics, all drawn from the Under the Mistletoe collection by Michael Miller Fabrics. Each fabric is identified by its specific colorway code, ensuring accurate selection at the fabric store or online. The fabrics span a classic holiday range of colors including bright white, pink, black, green, aqua, ivory, and red, creating a vibrant and layered visual effect.
