Disappearing 9-Patch Christmas Throw
 
3 Attachment(s)
Just finished the binding on this quilt for my mom. Since she was coming to my house for New Year's and exchanging presents then, I had time to get it quilted after all my other Christmas sewing. Thanks Mom!

I used a charm pack and some yardage from Joann's, backed it with a flat sheet I bought at Wal-mart. I added a 4 inch border and bound it in the same fabric. I took it to the long-armers and had a poinsettia motif quilted in a burgundy. My mom likes a puffy quilt, so the loft on the batting was higher than I would use normally, but it really made the quilting stand out!

I love it and I think she'll be tickled with it.

Thanks for looking!

A lovely quilt. What batting did you use that made the quilting stand out so well?

BrendaK 12-29-2016 10:15 PM

How kool. I am sure that your mother will love it. I know that I do. BrendaK

Annaquilts 12-29-2016 10:19 PM

Wow I really like the fabric choices and how it looks. A very different look then I am used to from a DP( quilt. I think it is the variety of light, white type of low volume prints.
