The traditional red and white hues can take a back seat, as it is the season to go crazy with the wide range of crazy quilt Christmas stockings in the market. With predominantly bold colors like blues, browns, black and purple, these stockings juxtapose patches of quilts of different colors, to form a random pattern. Although the bodies of the stockings are primarily quilt, the broad cuffs are made of velvet or furs. Even within the patches, you can have a lot of variety. The exposed broad stitches add to the appeal of these patchy quilts. Appliqués are also quite common on the quilted Christmas stockings. The
coarse material can be brilliantly camouflaged with appliqués of various kinds. Here you may use the traditional Christmas icons of angel, star, Santa, reindeer or the snowman but you may also personalize it with faces of your pet cat or dog. For this use a light colored base but highlight the ankle, the toe and the cuffs with bright borders, the appliqué can also appear brilliant on it. The green and red tartan plaid quilt base can also make an attractive Christmas stocking. You may hang colorful tassels and Christmas ornaments from the folded cuffs to make it unique.
