Every year my boss pays me to make a quilt to be given away at our department Christmas party. It's so fun for me to pick the pattern and select the fabrics so that the quilt will have a wide appeal. We are a very culturally mixed group...about 60 people from several countries. This year I selected The Big Easy quilt pattern from Connecting Threads. That website has a really neat feature where you select a pattern and then you can select your fabrics and it figures out a "kit" for you to purchase with all the yardages calculated out. It worked out great. Here's the quilt. It came out at 81"x81". I quilted it with a pantograph in chocolate brown thread.
