Snug as a bug

 Thank you Jackie, for sending me yardage of 
Robert Kaufman chartreuse green for Christmas.... 
How did you know I'd need that for the binding?  Your fabulous!
The Jennifer Paganelli on the back makes the whole quilt...
About 100 more threads to bury, but I will snuggle under it anyway....

Darkness came to quickly to snap a decent picture of the granddaughter's quilt... 
But you get the idea...  
Purple and green per her request, using the 5 shirts 
she selected from goodwill
I forgot to bring a backing fabric along... 
and no fabric stores near by... so basting may have to wait 
unless I can scrap something
together... hmmm... more to play with!
And a little more scrap play....

Are stuck at home hiding from the snow?

  1. You're right, that JP backing fabric is just perfect for your gorgeous Christmas quilt! I love how it's all tied together so wonderfully.

    Looks like you're enjoying hunkering down during that blizzard. We ended up going skiing today!

  4. I think the East Coast got all of the snow. Your quilts add lots of color to an otherwise dreary day. I like the way you play.

    We were house bound today and loved it! I did some sewing, the kid did alot of napping and laundry. hehe. I guess we have to get back to reality tomorrow.

  13. Oh how I love that red cross quilt.
    I'm definitely stuck until my son can get me out. No problem-I have lots of fabric and a big pot of soup on the stove.

  15. We are having a wet and green Christmas here in the Pacific NW. Send snow! Your red/green cross quilt is AMAZING. The machine quilting is fabulous! I just got caught up on a few of your blogs, looks like life is good in NYC!
    Merry Christmas to you, and thanks for all the sharing you do throughout the year, it's inspiring.
