Ho Ho Ho, It's Time to Make That Christmas Quilt

Even though it is still September, it is time to think about getting a Christmas Quilt finished. While on the Island this summer I was inspired by a quilt I saw in the Comox store, to make this quilt.


The Nancy Halverson panel is so cute.  I cut it apart, placed a 2 1/2" strip of the coordinating fabric between each piece of the panel, with a little Moda green as sashing.  More green on either side of the panel and here it is.  The quickest Christmas Quilt I ever pieced.



I quilted HO HO HO on one side, and a few snowflakes on the other.  For background quilting I used the circle in the circle.  A green Glide thread was the perfect thread to add a little bit of shine to the quilting.


Green Minky on the back, and OH OH OH for those that have a warped sense of humour like mine.

Have you finished your Christmas quilting yet!
