ALYoF September

September has been all about the Home For Christmas Medallion quilt. The top is finished! <insert happy dance here>

My ALYoF goal for this month was to complete the top, and that I did (just  under the wire).

I love it! I love it! I LOVE envisioning a quilt in my head, and over the course of a month, seeing it come to life. It is the best when there aren't too many piecing problems, and this one went together easily.

A center radiating star is surrounded by bright Christmas present, peppermints, Christmas trees and ornaments, then a candy cane border, and finally cheery houses with friendship corner stars. It's definitely Christmasy, but not so over the top.

I love those little houses! Now it's time to get to quilting! I can't wait to show you the finished quilt...hopefully, next week.

  4. Honestly, it wouldn't occur to me to make a Christmas quilt, for fear that its time on my couch would only be for a brief season. But this project is so much more than a red-and-green Christmas quilt! I love all of the unique elements, the inclusion of pink and blue in the palette, and how everything radiates from that center medallion. It's a quilt that can be displayed and used all winter long. Please consider making a pattern for this beauty. : )
