Quilting: Christmas Quilt

Christmas Quilt

Instructions

I'm partial to 'crazy' and scrap quilts. I cut apart an all-over pattern into sections for each square of the quilt.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Other

Style: Holiday


Materials

I used 100% cotton fabrics

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to make a special gift for our pastor for Christmas. I thought a quilt showing the Christmas story would be a good idea. The quilt is large enough for an afghan-sized throw or it could be hung on the wall.

What are you most proud of?

The way the colors came together. Photos never seem to show the depth or how each color lends itself to the other.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't be afraid to think outside the box.

Like your choice of the star design quilting in the blocks.

Thank you! Figured the Star of Bethlehem had to get top billing here! :-)

Thank you! I'm an ex-art major who stopped to raise four children so it was inevitable that my artistic leanings would seep out somewhere! It never seems like too much work in the process! I seem to find ways to 'paint' with fabric!
