I really like the rich colours.

I have to say that I have never seen so many beautiful Christmas quilts! I just had a ball looking at all of them. You gals are terrific. It never occurred to me to put that much work in a quilt that I could only use one time of the year. But I a convinced. Guess I will have to start now if I want to finish on by next Christmas. Especially one as involved as you all have done. Cheers!!!Betsy

I know that it's a panel because I have one in my stash! Bought it last year.

I try to add as many special faimily members as I can, parents, grandparents, siblings. Sometimes, as in the tree skirt photo I attached, I will photo shop pictures to be one. In this example, this is my son and his wife around the same age so I photo shopped the 2 pictures to put on their personalized tree skirt.

Do you do these as a summary of what happened during the year?
Or does each tell the life story of an individual or couple?
Or perhaps, are they a just Christmas photos?

You have me intrigued!
