With all the holiday shenanigans, I didn't get a chance to share this one with you. I ordered the awesome Naughty & Nice fat quarter bundle from Pile O' Fabric way back in August of 2015 and just knew I couldn't let it gather dust in my stash. So I got to working on a Christmas quilt in December 2015, knowing there wasn't much chance I'd get it done for the upcoming holidays. But I did get it done just in time for Christmas 2016!

I'm linking up today (for the first time in a long, long while) with TGIFF @ Busy Hands Quilts, as well as with Finish Up Friday @ Crazy Mom Quilts. I can't call this my first finish of 2017, but I'm hoping it won't be too long until I have that to share!

P.S. Many thanks as always to my quilt holder, Ms. K.V. She never seems to mind my quilty foolishness, even if it means climbing up on stone walls in snow storms!
Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty! You did a fantastic job on this one and the photo shoot is amazing. You are lucky to have such a great helper. And that backing...love it so much!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing location for the photo shoot. Is it your local church?
ReplyDeleteI will try to remember this pattern, since making a Christmas quilt is on my list for the year. It's simple, yet very effective. Have a great weekend.
Yeah! You did an amazing job with piecing the back. Great finish.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love Christmas and Cotton + Steel, so this is a win win win! And I agree, this quilt needed some snow for photos. :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful! I wish I could take photos outside right now. But it's been raining so much, there's mud and puddles everywhere.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! Love, love that fabric! Great photos too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. The photos with the snow flakes are great. The back is beautiful as well.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this! It turned out great!
ReplyDeleteWaiting for snow was really worth it; the photographs of the quilt are perfection and your quilt holder is a professional! I love it when a backing can be pieced and it takes real effort to find the seam; well done! How awesome to have the quilt done in time for Christmas, too. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat finish! Did you find any issues with how precise the tutorial is in terms of the size of your fat quarters? I found some of my fat quarters were 1/2" too short!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous finish! Spectacular photo shoot! Where was this? Xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright and cheery holiday quilt! So great that you got it finished in time last year, and can pull it our for years to come and enjoy it. It will become a holiday tradition at your house!
ReplyDeleteJealous of the photoshoot with snow. The quilt is darling.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish, I love the pink and aqua along with the red and greens. It's so nice to have your own Christmas quilt.
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty good to me!
ReplyDeleteCute Cute! I love that you called it "cheeky" green! What is the building in the background?
ReplyDeleteA beautiful quilt! I will have to look up that pattern.
ReplyDeleteAnd your winter photoshoot is gorgeous, as well!
