Questions

How many free patterns are in this collection?

23 right now, from 16 to 77 pieces each. 2 of them are beginner-friendly. All are free to recolor and print, with no sign-up.

Which block here is easiest?

The gentlest are Pine Tree (16 pieces in 4 sections), Christmas Gift Box (23 pieces in 6 sections) and Gingerbread Man (53 pieces in 6 sections). Fewer sections means fewer joins to line up.

What can I make with a Christmas FPP block?

A single block makes a pillow, an ornament or a mug rug; a row makes a table runner; a dozen makes a holiday quilt.

Can I print these small for ornaments?

Yes. Choose a smaller block size in the tool before printing. Each pattern page lists the smallest piece at each size so you can see what stays comfortable to sew.

Can I download these patterns as a PDF?

Yes. Each pattern opens in NiftyFifty's free FPP tool, which prints the foundations or downloads a PDF with a 1-inch test square, an assembly map, the sewing order and every foundation at exact size with 1/4-inch seam allowance.
