"Christmas Time is Here" quilt

 I bought this Riley Blake panel at my local quilt shop before Christmas last year. It reminded me so much of my Christmases growing up as a child. So.....much.....snow! When everything is covered with a fresh coat of a foot or more of snow, it's so peaceful.

The pop of color on the white/gray background is so stunning!

I watched Camille Roskelly's trunk show on the Fat Quarter Shop's you tube about a month ago. I found it very inspiring. One of things that I noticed is that her favorite pattern for machine quilting her quilts is the crosshatch and Baptist fan. I can machine quilt some of my quilts in the crosshatch design :)


This is my first Christmas quilt that I'm quilting for myself.

This Riley Blake panel is called "Christmas Time is Here" and it's very soft!

I think it looks great right here!

Or maybe slung across a chair like this....

I wanted some red pinky for the back, it looks so soft and inviting.



This is what the four cornerstones look like up close. 

 Twas the night before Christmas.


Have a great week!

  1. Very special - love the cross-hatch quilting! I often do this on smaller table toppers - I need to try it on some bigger quilts too. Love the pop of colour in there with the faded grey background in the panel. Beautiful minky for the backing - enjoy, Cynthia! Yes, the silence of a snowy day needs to be experienced :)!
