The Christmas Cactus pattern was designed by Judy and Bradley Niemeyer. It includes four sections referred to as Groups A, B, G, and C, and these group sizes have been standardized so that you can use interchangeable blocks in each space.

There are many ways to expand your Quiltworx designs into larger sizes with compatible border packages by clicking the Buy Now button.  If listed, you should purchase the Introduction Booklet for the size quilt you want.  Then, you should select expansion borders of your choice.  The following information explains ways to expand your quilt.

  • To expand this to a 118″ King, add the Group H 118″ King Border of your choice listed under the Buy Now Button.

If you want to experiment and mix and match the pieces included here with those from other designs, Quiltster is the perfect tool for you to make a quilt completely your own. Likewise, you can use many of the groups in this pattern to make other layouts as well. Explore each of these layouts to learn new ways to incorporate these blocks into future projects as well!
