At our last posting I had a finish with Waylon’s Christmas Quilt 2024 ~ here is the picture I shared
It just needed something more. I decided on adding some ric rac. My choices were limited as Joanns only had red or white and no green, white just seemed to stark, so red it was. Picking red I knew it would get lost with the red binding. I tore strips of green fabric from my stash to make a ric rac border. I love how this turned out.
Waylon’s Christmas Quilt
Not much sun in the forecast these past few days so I came outside to get a good picture of the colors this time.
If you remember this was 1 of 3 children’s quilts I am doing for Christmas this year. On to the next 🙂 I decided to work the Santa quilt. I used the peppermint candy print for the background. I am quilting a heart design scattered all over in different directions. I am doing the hearts free hand with no pattern. Just making a light white chalk outline and then quilting over it. Light and white is often lost in Santa’s beard but is not a problem. I really enjoy quilting hearts, they go fast and I have lots to do.
