Christmas Tree Quilt
A baby simply can’t go without a Christmas quilt, can she? (More like- I can’t figure out what to do with some charm squares and there aren’t enough for a lap quilt!)
I found these Sandy Gervais charm squares over a year ago in a shop on a visit to San Diego. I picked up a couple of yards of three of the fabrics and two charm packs. Did I know what I wanted to make? Of course not. That would make too much sense.
Fast forward to this summer, when I was at work on our Christmas quilt. I decided Eleanor needed one and that I wasn’t about to spend more money on fabric. I used a pattern from a scrap quilt pattern book- the pattern is called Broken Dishes. I cut up each charm square into a triangle and made a matching amount in a cream Kona cotton solid.
My favorite is the candy cane stripe binding! Eleanor has been playing on this bad boy since September! I love how cheery it is.
It was quilted on a long arm machine in an all-over pattern of ornaments. Hard to see in the photos, though.
pretty! love the binding!!
Lovely! The candy cane binding is just the icing on the cake! Very nice!
