A finish for Christmas

I'm so pleased with myself, I made this quilt in under 2 weeks, It turned out so pretty. I decided to use it as my Christmas quilt even though its not made with Christmas fabrics. I found the pattern on Moda fabrics web site. I used my Bliss fabric and the odd bit of Ruby.

All I need to do is sew on the binding,




I'll have it ready to hang on the wall by mid week I reckon. Do you like it?




I had to share my new Jane McGrath rose that has flowered for the first time, its just stunning








And my lovely geranium I grew from a cutting. Summer is always a pretty time in my garden.


I hope you found some sewing time today, I'm off to start sewing my binding.

You know I love it, I always love your quilts. That is a great pattern & still looks festive without obvious fabrics. The June McGraph rose is so pretty. I love geraniums because even in Perth heat they stay alive - haha. Have a great week. Tracee xx

What a great quilt it turned out to be. I just bought a layer cake of Ruby yesterday and don't have a plan for it.

Your quilt is just beautiful. I made the same quilt using a Flurry charm pack so it is wall hanging size. I love those Moda fabrics and have some of Ruby and Bliss, too. Your roses are just gorgeous. Hope you keep photos of your pretty flowers coming while we are in the midst of winner over here.
