Christmas Quilt Show

Sew Cal Gal at Insights From SewCalGal is having her annual Christmas Quilt Show.


I just finished putting the binding on my Fat Quarter Shop Mystery Quilt Along 2010-2011 quilt last week, so it was a no brainer as to what I would enter into the show.

I found it very difficult to photograph this quilt to show it's detail, color, design and quilting.  ETA:  Quilted by Jenise Antony my LAQ magnificent!







The fabric is Twelve Days of Christmas by Kate Spain for Moda.

The monthly package from the Fat Quarter Shop arrived like clockwork with excellent color instructions and more than enough fabric to complete the block.  I love the finishing kit design and instructions too.  

This was my very first BOM and it won't be my last!  We are already enjoying  it decorating our home for Christmas.

Go see all the other quilts in the show at Insights from SewCalGal HERE.

Mary....I just don't like it one bit....not cheerful enough...stitches aren't just in the right place and it's just not another masterpiece.

You see...if I keep writing about how much I always like your work....you may stop reading my comments...so I thought I'd leave you a little controversy! ROFL

As always...love your work :)
