My 'tis the season quilt top - done!

As I was packing for our (3mth) move whilst we renovate the back half of our home, I got out my machine and put it on the dining table (where I usually sew) and then realised the 30 Sept deadline for this SAL was looming..........at least if I could get the top of the quilt done........I made the post for the quilt top on time........


I could have cut the border fabrics nicer but I was in such a hurry.........


The fabric I used is Kate Spain - 12 Days of Christmas - so bright and cheerful. I'm not really sure what colour to do the border, I was thinking about the blue but someone on the blog as suggested red and perhaps that's what it will be! I've really enjoyed doing this quilt - thanks Chooky!. I want to finish it so I can be accepted into the next SAL - Some kind of wonderful by Anni Downs - I'll wait for the move and then get cracking to finish it!!

Happy Stitching everyone, Susie

I love the way you have put this quilt together Susie - and I agree, a red binding would really lift the quilt.
