Isn't this a fun one? And it actually is a Christmas quilt pattern! Coventry by Brenda Riddle from her book "Comfort and Joy".
Here is a close up of the fabulous quilting my fabulous quilter does so fabulously:
And here is a photo of the quilt before being quilted–enlarge the photo to see the fabric prints better. This fabric line is Peace on Earth by 3 Sisters. Can you believe the quilt is made with one layer cake and some background fabric? Great use for that layer cake of Christmas themed fabric you couldn't resist.
This is another pattern I would totally make again. Love that checkerboard border too. It would work with just about any fabric collection. Especially if you want to emphasize some really pretty prints.
How is your week going? Have you got it all done? lol Me either. My cookie baking kind of went by the way side this year. You can't do it all, and it is ok.

So right, can’t do it all. Going back to full-time work has really cut into my Christmas preparation time but that’s ok, we’ll enjoy it just the same. Lovely quilt, by the way. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Nicole!

I LOVE this quilt! I love that it is simple yet stunning.
BTW your Fig Tree quilt from yesterday’s post sent me on a mission to find the name of the quilt since I have a rather large stash of Patisserie. After some investigative work, I found , from your posts, it is a Heather Mulder Petersen pattern called Around the Block from her book called On a Roll Again. And I loved going back and reading so many of your posts!
Have a wonderful Holiday!

Okay, they’ve all been beautiful, but this one is my favorite. Thanks for sharing the info! All I have left to do is write checks for my kids to go with their gifts and bake some cookies…chocolate chip for my husband and pizzelles for my father. I’ll do those tomorrow after work. Prep wasn’t too bad this year, maybe because my daughter and her new husband are doing Christmas Eve and my son and his wife are doing Christmas? It makes it much easier on me! I wish you a very happy Christmas and all the best in the new year!

YEs, this is a winner. Simple and stunning. I really like it a lot! I am plugging along. I keep thinking of “something else” I could do.

Three Sisters has so many lovely collections.
Peace on Earth looks absolutely lovely in this quilt. I never would have thought a layer cake would be sufficient to make such a nice quilt top.
Hope you and your family have a fine Christmas.

Beautiful quilt! I never have guessed that a LC is enought to make it.
No, not done here either. I need to amke and do a few more things but there’s always a bit of rush before christmas isn’t there? And at the end it always works out;-)

this one is my favorite! it’s the layout i love so much! i’m mostly done except for a small amount of wrapping and cleaning. i’m spending today getting those 2 things done and then i’m putting my feet up and sewing while watching xmas movies.
i’ve been going to the gym most days and that has really helped me not to feel so stressed. i’m too tired to be stressed. ;p

Happy holidays! I’m in awe at of the beautiful quilts that you will be gifting. I’m hoping to get my sewing mojo back in 2017. I did manage to bake 7 different batches of cookies. I have a cookie decorating party/ white elephant gift exchange for my daughter and her friends. The moms will enjoy adult beverages and snacks. I’m getting to being done……

Just had to go back and add my admiration for this quilt and tell you that it (you) have inspired me to use my newly purchased “Midnight Clear” layer cake. And just so it doesn’t get boring, I’ve pulled out some other odds and sods of fat quarters from years ago. Often 3 Sisters collections repeat the tones so they will go together. Can’t let them sit of=n the shelf as I’m pretty sure they don’t get any better with age. Now I’m all fired up for a retreat in January. Hope you’ve had a lovely family holiday. Happy New Year.
