This is such a fun quilt. It’s a postage stamp quilt, comprised of lots of little squares of Christmas fabrics. It was pieced by a member of The Proper Bostonian Quilters Guild . The top was donated to be used as a charity quilt. I picked it up at the last meeting and brought it home to finish it

I added the narrow inner red border and the wider blue border with the jingle bell. It is quilted in the ditch every other row. I thought about quilting every row, but this is going to be wheelchair quilt and I wanted it to stay light and drape well.

The border has two rows of quilting using the Bernina #4 lingerie stitch with an increased stitch length of 2.5 which creates a gentle wave. It adds great texture. The person who gets this quilt will be able to recognize the quilt by just touching the border.

The photo above was taken before the quilt was washed. I like it even better now after it has been washed and dried. It’s such a cheerful quilt!

After being washed. Note the texture from the stitching in the outer border.
