I finished it last night. Ready to give to my grandparents for Christmas with the coordinating pillow cases! I used a very small Moda print of holly leaves and ribbons on a cranberry background for the binding.

That is just beautiful and maybe my ability. I was able to see the pictures in both formats. And I know nothing about computers. I reeeealy want to make this one.

I forgot, is there some kind of pattern for this? I need detailed instructions due to my lack of imagination!

Fons and Porter's Easy Quilts called this the Flower Patch. It was in their Fall 2008 issue. BHG Quilts and more ran an identical pattern in Fall 2008 called In the Meadow.

This is a really easy and fun pattern to make.

What a great Christmas quilt? Is this for your own bed? Have you ever noticed how seldom we make things for ourselves???? I love this one!

I just wanted to post my huge thanks to Jackie (jacquemoe) for doing such an incredible custom quilting job on this one.

I gave it to my grandparents last night (Sunday, December 28th) and they were speechless.

The quilt just fits their little full size bed and looks so nice with their cherry bedroom set and pale green walls!
