I was quite hesitant to start the quilting but once I started it went very quickly.
The little stars were outline stitched with an X through the middle.
The bigger red stars was outlined stitched also, and I used the hera marker for the lines through the centre.
The background was quilted with random swirls and loops.
I decorated the tree with red thread and made clam shell shapes to look like garland. I don't it ended up looking like garland, but that's okay :)
This is my last finished quilt for 2021 and I'm so excited to finish it before midnight!
Linking up to One Monthly Goal.
Happy New Year!
This is beautiful, Kathy. Well done. I always managed to leave money at Quilters Nine Patch.
ReplyDeletethis one looks like it would be perfect for a tree skirt if it had a slit on one side so slide around the base of the tree - pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to end the year. Such a cute wee quilt.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you.
So fun! I had the same thought as Karen. I would be tempted to make a tree skirt out of this. :) It is awfully cute.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your last finish for 2021, Kathy!! It turned out beautifully.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another Finish. I like the four patch blocks in the Trees. the clamshells do look like garland. Happy New Year!
