They Followed THE Star .... Quilt!
I thought you might enjoy seeing what lies atop my bed during the holidays. It's actually a lap size quilt, but I found that it was getting folded in between uses, and not seen ... thus I didn't get to enjoy it to the utmost!
Solution ... flipped over a Valentine's quilt which has a black with metallic gold design (see the pillow sham for the fabric) for a perfect underlay to show off the Christmas quilt. Love it! (and it seems the Judges did too, when I showed it this year for a red/first ribbon!).
It has a scrappy back, much like it's storage case in the off-season, which means it can stay out, as there's nothing Christmas about the pillow sham and it coordinates with my family room!!
I've given you a close up of one of the sheep, so you can see the curly fleece! The rest is SITD, and stars to keep with the all important Star!!

It's a Nancy Halvorsen, Art to Heart pattern ...from a couple of years ago, though I have seen the book still in LQS'. The quilt is featured on the back cover.
Thanks everyone ... for the kind words.
It was a FUN quilt to make ... and works up easily, because of the large pieces.
I have plans to someday re-create the Shepherd into Little Bo-Peep and make it as a child's quilt, with the Nursery Rhyme as part of the gift.
