Christmas Granny Square Quilt Finished

The finish I have to share with you today is my Christmas Granny Square Quilt.   I made this granny square quilt using the red and greens of the Nature's Christmas collection by Sandy Gervais for Moda and added a sashing and border of one of the cream prints. I love how the different arrangements of light and dark fabrics produces such different looking blocks.  This quilt is off to my friend in North Carolina to be used a table cloth.



I backed the quilt with a simple ivory fabric, quilted it using a meandering stitch (I love how it gives quilts that crinkly vintage look) and bound it with my favorite print from the line, a bias plaid in red and white. The quilt is 75" x 75" which makes it a little difficult to get a good picture of it, though my in-laws were in town this weekend so I had some extra hands to hold the quilt up.

The quilt was first blogged about here.

I am linking up to Link a Finish Friday, Whoop Whoop Friday, Thank Goodness Its Finished Friday, Finish It Up Friday, Take a look Tuesday, and Sew Cute Tuesday.

  12. I hope your friends are not red wine drinkers, as it would be awful to spoil such a beautiful quilt/tablecloth with stains!
