Two Weeks under the tree was his record.

 Well, it didn't exactly turn out like I could see in my minds eye. . . 

And it had a few make-overs as well a drastic designer revision.

(Imagine me whispering)  "I won't tell you or show you the mistakes."

 THE CHRISTMAS QUILT TOP FOR #3 SON IS COMPLETED~

TA DA!!!!


That's a lot of mid-day brightness.

Love the way you simplified the center so the applique design could shine, but still incorporated the stars as the border. A very fun holiday finish!

Oh, it’s great! I like the nine patch surround a lot! The stars with different colors really pop.

I don't see any obvious "oops!". Good for you on not pointing them out. If those candy canes are covering a wee bit of fabric shortage, you came up with a good fix.

WooHoo! on the finish.

I can't imagine a better finish for this quilt, Robin! I love how the stars incorporate all the colors in the center applique and the 9-patch blocks let the focus be on the center block. What a great finish!

I love geraniums.  I'm always looking for an unusual or different color, petal shape, or foliage shading. They just make me happy.   I&#...
