Seven Months Later...

Hello everyone,

I started this quilt on January 12, 2020, and blogged about it on January 27th (here). Today I'm excited to show off the finished quilt with lots more photos. Without further ado, let me introduce you to my Christmas in July quilt.

The quilt pattern is Squares & Stripes by CluckCluckSew. The quilt is easy to make and, I'm sure I'll make it again in the future.

All the fabrics for the quilt top, including the binding, are from JoAnn's, Walmart, and my stash. I love Christmas fabrics, don't you?

The quilt backing was one of the reasons this quilt sat for seven months. But when I found this red and white sheet at my favorite thrift store, I knew it was what this quilt needed.

 

The quilt design is my go-to diagonal grid pattern. And I love how it turned out.

Well, that's it for now. Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend.

Christmas in July

Hi everyone,

Do you remember the Christmas quilt that I started in January? Here's a picture of it to jog your memory.

Since I've been having such a hard time trying to decide on a quilt pattern to use for my next quilt, I decided to finish this one. There were a couple of things that kept me from finishing this before now.

I thought it wasn't wide enough. I didn't have a backing for it. And I wasn't sure that I liked it.

For the backing, I found a red and white striped sheet from my favorite thrift store that I thought would work with the whole Christmas theme. I added a column on the left side. And as for liking it...I"m still not in love with it but I don't hate it. 

So here is the completed quilt top up on the design wall. What do you think?

I'm planning on basting, quilting, and adding the binding this week. Hopefully, I'll be able to share it with you guys next week, depending on whether or not I attach the binding by machine or by hand. We'll see what happens.

That's it for now...Thanks for stopping by...Have a great week!!!
