Not a Christmas Quilt
#1
I made this Double Irish Chain lap quilt as a donation for a charity event to be held on 11/11/11. I used the background and red fabrics from my stash and added the green. Two people who have seen it say it looks like a Christmas quilt.
These are not Christmas fabrics but are Christmas colors. Even if it does look like a Christmas quilt, is it suitable for donation? I appreciate your candid opinions.
(Note that this is only the top--not quilted yet)

Keep in mind all the terrific red and green applique quilts of the 1800s; they were never thought of as Christmas quilts. I'd say, discount those who think only inside the box and go ahead with your lovely donation offering. How kind of you!
