Christmas Log Cabin

Here is my Mom's quilt--this Christmas log cabin quilt.  She made this quilt using mostly leftover scraps that were going to be tossed!  Love it!  I seem to have inherited my need to use every possible morsel of fabric from her :)

She requested holly leaves for the quilting.  The variegated holiday thread was the perfect choice.

Here is the back of the quilt.  Gotta love a solid back!

Peggy's Christmas Quilts

Peggy had me quilt these 4 fun little Christmas quilts.  One for each of her adult children and one for herself.  They have seen the quilt tops, so I'm not spoiling any surprises here.  :)

This first one I did free-motion feathers.  I used a Holiday variegated thread which really turned out nice with her festive colors.

The back.

Quilt #2...

...and the back.  The quilting on this one goes along with the design in one of the light fabrics. 

Quilt #3 was curly-Q's and holly leaves.  See where I got the idea for curly-Q's??

And #4 was loops and holly leaves. 

These were the last quilts I did on my old longarm machine.  That's right- I purchased a new longarm about a month ago! (I'm really good at keeping this blog up to date huh?)  It's a Nolting Fun Quilter 20".  I think I have finally gotten to the point where I'm comfortable with it.  It takes a while to get used to the feel of a different machine- much like driving a different car.  Perhaps I will share my new machine with you in another post.  But for now, I have more holiday quilting to do!
