christmas quilt

I finished this quilt back in the summer but got it back right before Halloween from the quilters. I finished the binding soon there after but forgot to post about it. I love this quilt. I love the size - it's just perfect for one person (maybe two depending on the size) to cuddle up and stay warm. I am in love with the Christmas prints too. Just my colors. Plus I love that I made it out of a charm pack. It was so nice not to have to cut the squares.
Love the simplicity of the back.

Simple quilting too.

I was experimenting with the disappearing 9 patch square and made it into a table runner. I really love how it turned out.

I had a few extra squares so I had to make a matching pillow for the couch. This one I quilted myself with a strait stitch. My first pillow cover. I used my old white sheets for the back. Waste not want not.

Hi Joy I have been quietly viewing your blog for a couple of months. You are so full of ideas, and you have great taste to boot! I love your quilt, its so happy.
Could you tell me where you sent your quilt for quilting? I think I might want to try that with my next one.Thanks Shelly Wilson-Marcie Turners sister-inlaw.

When I was commenting to Bigg and Hav on the birth of their handsome son, I realized I am Aunt Shelly...I'm always making things much more complex than they actually are.
