'Deco the Halls' - 2012 Holiday Quilt
I love this design! It is a common graphic design that is on a lot of fabric, wallpaper, wrapping paper, upholstery fabric, etc., but I decided to turn it into a quilt pattern. I am very proud of myself for planning to use red/white/gray because red and I do not always get along (see here).
I have been working on this quilt for a couple of weeks. After
cutting and sewing the blocks I adjusted the quilt design twice to get
just the right look. Yesterday I was able to load it on my long-arm and
begin quilting it. The quilting has been a progression. I knew right
away what I wanted to do in the red, but the gray and white designs
occurred one layer at a time, never quite sure what would come next
until I finished each section of quilting.
Here are a series of pics showing this quilts evolution.
This quilt uses the Quick Curve Ruler, and the pattern will be available in about a week. Jenny and I challenged each other to get our Holiday quilts done before we go to Houston, and her quilt is amazing, awesome, stupendous, etc! See it here.

That is SO cool. I'm in awe of all the great patterns you & Jenny are able to come up with. I've never been big on Christmas quilts but the two you & Jenny have come up with make me want to sew!
