Default A Holly Jolly Christmas...quilted by Charisma

Well Felicia gave me a mission if I chose to accept it:

Make this Jolly!


She felt that it didn't seem much like a Christmas quilt.....the fabrics actually are very festive..they are Mary Englebright ..Great Fabrics and pattern.
So I used continuous curves in the chain, and holly and ribbons in the centers...then I quilted in festive Christmas words in the white border with ribbons.

I think it looks very Jolly!

Thanks so much!

"Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Fancy ties an' granny's pies
An' folks stealin' a kiss or two
As they whisper, "Merry Christmas" to you."

What more can I say? Way above and beyond what I was able to envision for this quilt. You work wonders.

Thanks C. :=)
