023 Christmas Tree Quilt

A quilt in the pattern of a Christmas Tree. 
My DH designed it, and I created it. 
He described how he wanted it made, 
and I "drew" it on excel using only square blocks.

This is how it began,  stacks of little squares.

This was like playing with fabric leg-o blocks??

After making strips of fabric, I needed to visualize the colours together.

Up onto the design wall...overlapping the strips so it would all fit.

 The Star and the top two candles.

Here it is...
I'm happy with it!!
We Wish You all a
Merry Christmas!!

022 ~ Merry Christmas for my M-I-L


I finally finished a quilt for my 
M-I-L for Christmas this year.  
She's in Europe; My DH chose 
the fabrics he thought she'd like, 
and after I'd made the pinwheels, 
he designed the quilt top.

 
I used  the print fabrics and pieced them 
together for the binding
I've thought about trying it before, 
so I was quite happy how it turned out.
She is thrilled!!!
And I am happy!!

 Done!!
