Ellen Ellen’s Christmas Party is a 3-color, 3-fabric quilt in a horizontal setting. It measures 81 x 81 inches. In case you are wondering about the quilt name, EQ7 calls what is commonly known as the 54/40 block “Garden Party” in their block library. That coupled with a Snowball block led me to name this quilt Christmas Party.

This design uses the Inklingo 9″ Storm at Sea and Half Square Triangle 00B Collections. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana and Stonehenge by Northcott.

Ellen (Burton) Pollitt is my 4th great grandmother. She was born in Lancashire, England about 1780. She is a fairly new name in my Williamson line.  I was thrilled to find Ellen’s marriage record to James Pollitt early on in record searches because that gave me her maiden name. Sometimes a woman’s maiden name is elusive. Now to confirm who her parents were…
