Default Poinsettia

I don't think I would be exaggerating if I said I have about 100 hours of labour in this wall hanging. I think it turned out ok, but I wouldn't do it again.
I should add that it is an Edyta Sitar pattern, Laundry Basket Quilts.

Well, I think it was time well spent. That is a very nice piece for Christmas, and subtle enough you could keep it on the wall all year. I love the holly!

Thank you. It doesn't show in the picture but every inch of this hanging is quilted. (mostly to get it to hang flat. lol)

I also think it was time well spent! It's just stunning.
It would probably take me twice as long and not come out half as well.

Really nice! I agree, this could hang year 'round. Classy!

It is stunning and you will have such a treat each year when you hang it for the holidays. I haven't done appliqué and this motivates me to try it. I imagine you feel such satisfaction when you see how your time spent created such a lovely piece of art.
