Welcome to my stop on the Christmas Collection Blog Hop featuring Nancy Scott's book Masterpiece Quilting 2018 Christmas Collection!
Find links to my fellow bloggers at the bottom of this post.
I chose to make "Oh Christmas Tree" for this blog hop. For a few reasons. 1) I love Half Square Triangles. 2) I love simple. 3) I had the perfect binding fabric already. What? You don't pick your patterns based on binding fabric?
See! Perfect binding fabric!
This is the star of my Christmas tree. I chose to pull the turquoise from the binding fabric and make this a more "modern" Christmas wall hanging. I don't know if I succeeded, because I'm more of a traditional gal, but a "not green" tree is modern to me.
My free motion quilting leaves a lot to be desired. Nancy's quilting is far more amazing, but I still ended up taking more pictures of the back than I did of the front, because I found the effect of the quilting kind of fun.
I obviously didn't mark my lines for the "straight" quilting, but if you have followed me at all, you know the walking foot is my go to for quilting, so free motion quilting was a "step up" for me. Ha!
Oh look! Pretty binding!
Here she is! My "Oh Christmas Tree" wall hanging. I'm kind of in love with her. It's not dazzling amazing, but it's simple, modern to me, and frankly, she had me at the binding.

ReplyDeleteIt's so cute, and the binding is perfect!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. I've seen fake white trees with blue decorations. So all is good. ☺
