This is my latest project, a Christmas throw. The fabric is 12 days of Christmas by Kate Spain for Moda. I was originally going to make a wall hanging but changed my mind at the last minute. For the pattern I just did what I think is called a tumbler pattern with charm squares & added a border. I saw it somewhere once. I also machine quilted "in the ditch" & I was happy how it turned out. The backing is minky so a lot could go wrong. So I guess you could say I am branching out & my quilting projects are getting bigger.
These are my 2 helpers modeling the quilt. They actually are a lot of help because I lay my design out on the floor of the sewing room & they pick up the pieces & bring to me at the sewing machine so I don't have to keep getting up. It is wonderful!

The warm cozy minky backing....
Only 1 & 1/2 more projects I want to finish before no name baby arrives. I have about 5 weeks so I hope I make it! (She better not come early.)

What a great quilt--these are some of my favorite Christmas fabrics ever! The Minkee on the back is perfect, too!
