    Default Christmas trees for my daughter

    I made this for my daughter for Christmas, but I gave it to her early, on Thanksgiving day, so she could spruce up her house for the holidays. This was a real fun one to make. I used metallic thread for decorative stitching on some of the trees. It was quilted by charismah here on the board. She is so talented. Her creative touch really makes it into something special. Swirls and snowflakes in the background, ribbons in the border and each tree has a unique design. Thank you, Charisma!

    I was inspired to make it by the one jcrilley posted here on the board quite some time ago. Thanks to her too. Pattern is called Spruce it Up.

    Very cute! Great quilting. Are the trees appliqued onto the quilt?

    Yes. Each rectangle block has a tree appliquéd on it. I used a machine blanket stitch.

    Thanks everyone for the nice comments.
