I worked some more on one of the baby quilts. You will notice this one was born in September. See I told you I was behind.
Now, I only need the three borders and it will be ready to sandwich and quilt.
I also cut out the rest of the squares for this square patch Christmas quilt.
It will have about a 15 inch white strip of applique where the break is in the blocks. I got the idea from a quilt I have seen a lot of on the web. Of course, now that I need it, I cannot find it. But, I'm not totally sure what I will put in the white strip. The original one has stockings and Christmas trees. So I may just do that also.
Be sure to visit Judy for Design Wall Monday.
Oh my, Vivian -- do you know how many images show up when you google search "Christmas quilt applique"? LOL! I didn't see one like you described, but I did find on by Natalia Bonner which had a strip of applique down the center -- it was kind of cute, though probably not as Christmas-sy as stockings and trees. Maybe you could change it into ornaments and Christmas lights? http://piecenquilt.blogspot.com/2009/06/desired-quilt_22.html Have a great day!! :)
ReplyDeleteNot so far behind. The wedding quilt I did for my son and his bride arrived 15 months late so what's 5 little months between friends and family. I do like the documentation. And for your Christmas quilt, just put anything you like on the white strip. If it makes you smile, it is just the right thing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful baby quilt, you're not too far behind it would be perfect for his first birthday! I think you will get it done sooner though!
