One of Four


One of my 2016 Quilting Goals is to finish 4 Christmas quilts for gifts this year.  I've pieced my first one, 3 more to go. 


This is Lifetime Quilt Number 174
The pattern is All Wrapped Up by Kate Spain (it's a free pattern, click here)
It finished at 55" x 65"
It has approximately 282 pieces

I used random Kate Spain holiday fabrics from several families for this top.  10 inch squares worked perfectly.

I think the size and style of this quilt makes it a perfect gift.  It could be hung on a wall or used as a lap quilt.

I need to not procrastinate on piecing the back and getting it quilted!

  3. Any particular reason you are making four Christmas quilts? Enquiring minds want to know.
