Deco the Halls - Finished

I LOVE this design and color combination!  This is probably one of my favorite quilts I've ever made and quilted.  I love the  graphic design and simple color combination. The silver dot is a Michael Miller print that is available currently in stores.  The white and the gray binding is from Moda's 'Blitzen' collection.  The red is a solid from Moda.  This is a 60 x 70 lap quilt, so I didn't want the quilting to be too heavy or it makes for a stiff quilt about which my children complain.

This quilt was fun to piece and even more fun to quilt.  The Quick Curve Ruler makes cutting and piecing a quilt with many curves quick and easy.  The time commitment to sew curves is reduced by at least 1/3 by using the QCR.  

I have the pattern ready to go, but I need to get some time with my photographer, Breanne at Red Poppy Photo (btw she did an amazing job on my pattern cover photos :o)) to get the cover photo and full quilt picture taken.

P. S. Here are two other color ways that I was debating about.  I think they are all great!
