christmas tree quilt finished

All I want for Christmas ... is to find my cutco scissors and to finish my Christmas tree quilt. 

Last week I happened to mention to my DIL what my first Christmas wish was and she produced a pair of cutco scissors that "someone" left at their house... LOL.

    Sweet!!

  I'll wrap them up and put them under the tree, cuz you know, every present counts :)

Now that I am on a roll ...  instead of being a responsible adult this week, I decided to finish my Christmas quilt.  (so when our college kids arrive tomorrow for the holidays, they will be making their own beds and clean their own bathrooms upon arrival, LOLOL.  Supplies are under the sink :)

The design for this quilt was shamelessly copied from Sevtlana Sotak at Sotak Homemade.  When I saw it, I HAD to have one.  Sevatlana has a distinctive style which I'm drawn to.  

quilt stats:
size - 52 x 65 (washed)
fabric - by Zen Chic, Sweetwater,  Ampersand for Windham Fabrics, Lecien, Suzuko Koseki, Bonnie & Camille and Carolyn Friedlander.
Negative space is Kona pdf.
back - Brannock and Patek woven basics.
batting - 80/20% comfort blend by Winline

Quilt Design - Sevtlana Sotak at Sotak Homemade  

pattern - Amanda Jean's Tree pattern. Sawtooth Star Blocks using Eleanor's "Quilt in a Day" Flying Geese ruler for a 3 x 6 finish. Center squares are 6 1/2".

The design of this quilt lead me to Amanda Jean's tree pattern.  It's very easy to follow, and highly recommended, (unless you like wasting time and fabric, like me)

I went down this "Christmas tree pattern rabbit hole"... 

... when I was done, I had a wall-hanging for myself, friends and family :)

No. 8 DMC floss 

A test for color fastness is recommended (from experience :)

 

This quilt may just sit out for a while after Christmas :)

the binding is basted and waiting for hand sewing.
