Christmas in July!

There will probably be a lot of people talking about Christmas in July....

But I just finished my beautiful Christmas Quilt, so I will be joining them!

Here it is!

Okay, so I joined Lily at lilysquilts.com and tried my hand at my first Quilt as You Go Project.

I really liked it.  We used her dresden pattern, to make six of these:


Then I was able to free motion quilt with a lot more detail than I've done before, because it was so easy to move the fabric around.

This is the back:



And the front.


The lighting doesn't really show the detail on the front like it does on the back, but in person it shows.

I love this quilt!  Usually I give them away or try to sell them, but this will be mine for a long time!
 

I've linked up with Lily'sQuilts for Fresh Sewing Day.  Check it out and see what others are doing.
