How about a pretty Christmas lap quilt to go over the back of the couch. It will give you a little color and spread a little Christmas cheer. I have a beautiful sampler Christmas quilt that I won at my Guild's annual quilt raffle more years ago than I care to count. I bring it out every year after Thanksgiving and every year I spot something that I hadn't notice before, whether it's the hockey player, snowmen or fireplace with stockings hung by the chimney. I still enjoy looking at the quilt and remembering some of the quilters and their blocks with a lot of Christmas cheer in the quilted snow flakes on the quilt.
