Default Christmas Nativity done in the nick of time!

I started this late summer, thinking I had all kinds of time, ha. This is my first attempt at FM quilting and the piece is 45x58. I know I have a LONG way to go to perfection, but I didn't want to keep practicing on muslin sandwiches. I took two classes and the instructor said not to hold one's breath while working. So I did just the opposite and almost turned the color of the purple pieces. I couldn't work very long at one time. I completed this on December 18, just in time to show my quilting guild and then hang for the three parties in a row we had. Why do we do things we do, right? :-)

I do not have the answer to your question but your Nativity Scene is exquisite. What a blessing!


Is it paper pieced? What pattern is it? I absolutely love it.

Merry Christmas.

I love it! I have never seen this particular one. I'd hang it in my house too. Merry Christmas
