Christmas Quilt

When I attended my very first AQS show in Nashville during August 2006,

I took two classes.

These fabrics were purchased for Scott Murkin's curved piecing session

(we were to bring 9" squares of lights and darks).

I managed two or three blocks during the class,

brought everything back home

only to have the precut squares sit on the shelf.

Sometime in early 2007,

I abandoned the curved piecing effort

and went with half-square triangles.

Layouts were auditioned and a flimsy was born!

Chris added free motion feather work in the light color bands

(some of her first)

and My Christmas Quilt became a reality.

The quilt is visible on the quilt rack year round

but takes is place of honor on the back of the couch

each December.
