Dear Jane Christmas Signature Quilt Finished

I've finished another UFO - my Dear Jane Christmas signature quilt.  On one of the Dear Jane lists someone thought it would be fun to have a signature block swap using Christmas fabrics.  This swap took place in 2008, and since this was a "first" I signed up.  Here is my finished quilt:



It was a lot of fun arranging and rearranging the blocks.  There are blocks in this quilt from old friends that I've known for many years and new friends that I have met through blogging. 


I machine quilted this quilt on my Bernina. 


I used the striped continuous bias binding from my last post.  Here is how it looks against the red border.....



and the green.......



I love doing this leaf quilting pattern to fill in a border. 


Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

I hope you are having a good weekend and finding a few minutes to do some stitching!!!!

  15. This is one special quilt. I've hesitated to join a siggie swap, expecting problems with different sized blocks. But whatever problems you may have had, you've put them together into a lovely creation.
    A bias-cut striped or plaid binding is always a wonderful way to finish a quilt.
