Christmas Quilt (gift)

final dimensions: something like 65x50 or something. Don't quite remember.

I went through a couple different designs for this quilt. In the end, it all ended up being a little changed even after the final design because some of my middle section fabrics were a tad bit smaller than I initially thought. You can see this when it was pinned before I quilted and cut it down.

Straight line quilting again. I think most of my quilts will be this way because of the designs I do. Eventually I'd like to do more intricate designs for the tops where getting them professionally quilted would be great, but I'm still learning, so quilting them myself is preferable.

Everything was from my stash except the backing and binding (which were the same fabric that I bought 40% off at nuttall's. Score. I reallllly liked it). I learned on this quilt that my local shop (not joanns) sells batting by the yard. SO much less expensive. Has changed my aspirations for quilting because of this monetary change, to be sure! yay!

I think my sister-in-law really liked it. I hope she did. I was really pleased with it and was happy to have done so well and to be able to give it as a gift.
