Christmas Tiles Quilt

This one I found the fabric and thought it would look perfect just as it was. So this is kind of a whole cloth. I just quilted around the motifs. This is the christmas quilt for mom that I refused to put a fall thing on the back

now you will understand.

Quilt Name: Christmas Tiles
Pattern: None, bordered whole cloth
Batting: Hobbs 80/20
Quilting: Freehand around motifs, stencil on solid border, ruler work on print border
Thread: top: Superior Metallics Gold, bottom: Floriani 40wt, Embroidery thread to match backing

I am not sure where the fabric is from, think it might be a R. Kaufman. I sent all my scraps to a friend on here,

so she has the selvages

when I see her, I'll ask her to look and tell me HUGS

What exquisite fabric. I love any kind of tiles, and to have them be Christmas is just delightful. I would never have been able to cut that fabric up either.
