ffq-lar Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Unbelievable!! I pieced something. Then quilted it!! OMG Then I bound it!! I guess that's the correct sequence but I can't seem to reach the final step!! I love the Christmas strips from our swap--I used the brights and darks with a white on cream for the background. Simple piecing, lots of white spaces for some special quilting, easy zinger border made from the leftovers, more white, then binding. Unfortunately, I had a half day to squeeze in the quilting and three hours between work yesterday and my Guild Christmas meeting last night (my self-imposed deadline!) was used to bind it. My plan for special quilting (some fancy feathers) was put aside because of time constraints. I am happy with my new Christmas quilt! What shall we do for a new swap?

IBQLTN2 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 beautiful job Linda. I love the swirlies around the stars, reminds me of blowing snow in a winter storm!! The holly border is great as well. You did a great job and is this the first one done from the swap or have others finished theirs as well. I may have missed them. I think I did see one that was pieced already. I love to see all the different designs everyone comes up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda G. Craig Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Oh Linda, I just love what you did with the swap strips! And I agree with Jeanne, it reminds me of a snow storm amongst the stars, with the holly/berry border to top it off. Awesome! You are just so inspiring, thank you.

witha'K'quilting Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 That is lovely Linda. Love the quilting too. I am close to having mine pieced. I managed to use all the strips and added a great beige snowflake fabric for the background. Now, this encourages me to get it done! Thanks. I won't be ready for another swap, as I have lots to finish first. But, keep me posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
