Christmas Cheer, Part Two


Roberta made my day last Saturday when she left a message that Nantucket was quilted, so I wasted no time in going to pick it up. I was anxious to see not only the quilting (which again, is perfection) but the toile as the backing. It turned out beautifully.













That feathered swirl is just so lovely - I think I could see myself using it on almost every quilt that I make. Just a second -- I think I have!















It's great to see it skipping across the large red stars and more subtly on the cream and white fabrics.















Someone commented recently on a post that all reds do go together, and I think that this quilt is a great example of that.














I've been feverishly working through my decorating and baking list so that I can sit down and start binding both this one and Country Charmer. The tree is now up and decorated (whew!) and there are only a few recipes left on the baking list, so I'm thinking that by the weekend I should be in the binding business.

  1. Such a great feeling to see a beautiful quilt almost finished. I agree about red fabric, my DJ blocks have lots of different reds and they do work well together.
