maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more....”

A little birdie told me last year that she'd like a Christmas quilt, so for the past month or so, I've been working on a Christmas quilt that I designed myself in EQ7. I am happy to announce that the last of the three borders are now on the quilt and it is ready to be sandwiched and quilted. It ended up 100" x 100"! Whew!...it's gonna be FUN trying to quilt it on my little domestic sewing machine! :(
So here's pics of the scrappy "Christmas Stars" quilt top...
Even the THREE borders are scrappy!!!
I need to either purchase a king-sized batting for it or piece one from the batting pieces I have on hand. I also need to piece together a backing for it. THEN I will get it sandwiched and start the quilting on it.

Holy crap, that's quite a challenge! I have trouble quilting a lap quilt on my machine...
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, I do have a Juki TL2000Qi, which has a larger throat/harp area than the standard sewing machine...but it's not a long-arm so it is still going to be quite the struggle.
DeleteLoretta, this quilt is beautiful, absolutely beautiful! It may be a "Christmas quilt" but if I had it I doubt I'd ever put it away!
