This quilt looks much more complicated than it is. There are 4 different pieced blocks and 2 different solid blocks (the large floral on white and the small floral & pines on green) which are laid out Trip Around the World style.

Christmas Fantasy is a Flimsy
It's a bright sunny day... perfect for quilt pictures on our freshly moved lawn! This UFO is called "Christmas Fantasy" and it is from a December 2003 issue of McCall's Quilting. I started quilting in 2002 and during this time I had no confidence in picking my own fabrics so this a verbatim copy of the magazine quilt.
The fabrics are all from a line called "Folk Art Christmas" by Robin Pandolph. The colors are so rich!
Florals have been a favorite of mine right from the start... I love these big shabby roses.
Getting this old UFO to flimsy stage is one of my Q3 goals so I can check it off my list. I'm thinking this one will be sent out for quilting by a professional as I have plenty of smaller projects in my UFO quilting queue.
Isn't that border fabric a beauty? I love the veins in the leaves and the detailed shading in the roses. Tomorrow I'll be doing my August in Review post - how in the world can it be almost September!

ReplyDeletethe fabric choices are so beautiful. I love the contrast of that green in there - very rich and makes the red floral really pop.
