ALYoF September
September has been all about the Home For Christmas Medallion quilt. The top is finished! <insert happy dance here>
My ALYoF goal for this month was to complete the top, and that I did (just under the wire).
I love it! I love it! I LOVE envisioning a quilt in my head, and over the course of a month, seeing it come to life. It is the best when there aren't too many piecing problems, and this one went together easily.
A center radiating star is surrounded by bright Christmas present, peppermints, Christmas trees and ornaments, then a candy cane border, and finally cheery houses with friendship corner stars. It's definitely Christmasy, but not so over the top.
I love those little houses! Now it's time to get to quilting! I can't wait to show you the finished quilt...hopefully, next week.

ReplyDeleteThis turned out so well, Katy! I especially like the candy cane border!
ReplyDeletei love it! and I didn't even think it was a Christmas quilt, until I really looked!! fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! What a beautiful quilt. It looks so cheerful. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, it wouldn't occur to me to make a Christmas quilt, for fear that its time on my couch would only be for a brief season. But this project is so much more than a red-and-green Christmas quilt! I love all of the unique elements, the inclusion of pink and blue in the palette, and how everything radiates from that center medallion. It's a quilt that can be displayed and used all winter long. Please consider making a pattern for this beauty. : )
ReplyDeleteI love it too! Agreeing with everything Michelle C has to say. PATTERN!?
ReplyDeleteI love this so much! Great work!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It turned out great--the colors, the medallion style, everything.
