Things have been crazy around here!
Right now we're in the middle of Christmas preparations, final exams, and school soccer season too.
I'm happy I was able to squeeze in a little time to get the binding on my Christmas Lincoln quilt.
The binding fabric I chose was a stripe of course.
I'm really into striped bindings now and I especially like them on Christmas quilts I noticed.
When I was decorating the house for the holidays I noticed that most of my Christmas quilts have striped bindings.
You like what you like, I guess!
The backing is this great Letter to Santa fabric that I found over the summer.
I just love the text and the envelopes!
When I did the quilting, I took extra care to be sure that the quilting didn't take away from the backing fabric.
I like it that much!
In fact, even though I usually sew a label on the back of each quilt, on this one I plan on taking a thin red felt tip pen and printing my name somewhere on the backing, trying to make my writing similar to the text.
I'm pleased with how this turned out and I hope you are able to get some sewing time in too.
Everyone is so busy during this time of year!
Enjoy the holiday season!
Beautiful quilt! I love striped bindings, too
ReplyDeleteLove your Lincoln quilt and the backing is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty in those happy Christmas fabrics and the backing is charming too. Love it
ReplyDeleteI love it Michele! The backing really is gorgeous. Beautiful little Christmas quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh, Michelle, I love it. The backing and binding fabrics are fabulous
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty! I really need to jump on the Schnibbles bandwagon.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Great backing fabric and I love the striped binding.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! I can't wait to make the Lincoln quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love your label idea - it will be perfect with the back (which is very cute fabric). And isn't nice getting a Christmas quilt finished BEFORE Christmas ;o)
ReplyDeleteIf Lincoln only knew his popularity extends to such a fun Christmas quilt, Michele! You're so right about the striped binding. I've never seen that fabulous backing, either - I'll be on the lookout for some for sure! Glad you're enjoying the holidays!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
This is an amazing quilt! I love the design and the fabrics you used, but especially the backing. It is just perfect!
