This may or may not be a rerun post of quilts I put out each December for Christmas. I could go back to see my old posts, but who doesn't love to look at a stack of quilts, especially those that are red and white!?
It's a no-brainer, isn't it?
At the foot of our steps sits this narrow bucket bench. I don't change items on the bench ever - except at Christmas time. Because I have such a pretty collection of red and white quilt tops, I love to bring them out each December just to help out with Christmas decorating. What a great excuse to bring them out of the closet and into something of a "limelight."
To see each quilt fully laid out click this link - I did go find a previous post.
Or you could look at them in order from top to bottom here:
Stars and Stepping Stones - my design
Thimbleberries Christmas Confetti
Thimbleberries Hourglass Quilt
Red and White Ohio Star - my design
Jacob's Ladder - my design
I have probably said in previous posts that I want to get busy with quilting these, and all the other flimsies filling my closets. I am getting more and more comfortable with the long arm machine, and I am getting closer each week to dedicating more time to doing this quilting. I'm on the cusp...I really am.
Hope you are all having fun with Christmas preparations!
Happy Quilting, Friends!
All pretty quilts. I like red and white ones too. When planning one I gravitate to red. I'm trying to expand my color pallet but red usually ends up in them somewhere!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh, these are all beautiful! I especially like the Ohio Star--would it be possible to share the final dimensions and how much of each fabric you used? I would love to make one like it! Thank you.
