I don't even know how many years I have spent trying to finish this intricate log cabin Christmas quilt. It is a joy to have it done. I didn't plan to quilt is soon, but it is pressed so nice and crisp right now that I laid it on a spare bed and am going to try to baste it right away so I don't have to repress it later. I also plan to make pillowcases and pillow covers to match from the leftover fabric. I purchased two kits many years ago of the same fabric with no plans of what to make out of it. I just knew I loved the fabric. Later, I added greens, golds, reds, and blacks to it so I would have enough to make this quilt. I made sure most pieces had flecks of metalic gold in them.
This quilt was also a draw number on my Patchwork Times list that I didn't get done a few months back. Now I am back on track and have completed everything on the list so far.
I also got my Flowering Snowball pressed and on the quilt frames. I hope to baste and quilt it this week. This is this July's draw number for Patchwork Times and my One Monthly Goal. I guess I have two weeks to get it done.

Love the Xmas quilt. It would be a shame to fold the top up and get it creased.
ReplyDeleteHow's the little one going. Have you had lots of hugs...

ReplyDeleteThank you for inspiration and link to Show and Tell Monday !! Bambi hug
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas quilt looks beautiful. Congrats on a finish! I wouldn't want to fold it away either. Keeping it on the bed until you can quilt it is a great idea!
ReplyDeletethat is a beautiful Christmas quilt..so intricate. Congrats on getting the two quilts off of your lists.
ReplyDeleteThe log cabin quilt is very involved... so well done on finally getting the top finished! I love it when it is all freshly pressed too. I really like your flowering snowball quilt, and would love to add this to my list of one day quilts, but cringe a bit at the curved piecing and the need for precision. Maybe one day :o)
ReplyDeleteThis turned out so pretty, Deana! I need to plan a king size Christmas quilt that we can use on our bed. . . love this design.
