First on my design wall is the spool blocks from the exchange. Jan brought me the rest of the blocks and I put them up on the wall.
After admiring them, I took them down waiting for inspiration on how to make a quilt out of them. Next I sewed together the strips for the Christmas quilt. Next I need to add the white sashing between each strip, add the borders and get it quilted.
I really like non-traditional Christmas fabric.
Lastly, I want to show the wonderful fabric I found on Saturday. First here is my Happy Village again.
Here is the fabric.
Can you believe how much it looks like my little quilt. Unfortunately, a customer bought the end of the bolt so I wasn’t able to get any but we did have the same fabric with a white background and I got some of it to back my little quilt with.
For more design walls, go to Patchwork Times.

Wow you have lots of great projects! Love the spools. And your village quilt is spot on for that fabric. You obviously have designer talent!
ReplyDeleteWhoo Hoo! Love that fabric you found for the back. It's perfect.
