Christmas Quilt Kit Finished

 
 
 
Again all over ruler work except the holly and the basket weave in the cross hatch.    Chose ruler work because  it is fast and easy,  had to have this finished up today so I can deliver the quilts tomorrow so  they can get the binding on.

 
This is a sample for the kits that are made up for Houston.   Sure was glad to get this off the frame so I can finish a baby quilt that I was working on.

FALL PANEL FINISHED

 
out lining the large flowers


                                                 Mctavish  in the background (black)

 
out lined the border leaves added swirls


                                                   Back - used bottom line in the bobbin.   The border turned out pretty good considering  that I wanted the ovals at opposite  corners.   Wasn't paying attention. 

 
Out lined only the pattern that I wanted to stand out.


                                                       the added swirls coming off the vines


                                                      The border turned out pretty good.

I love red and white quilts.

 
Would love to have this one in my house.

One of my favorite blocks is the umbrella with the rain drops.
