Holly's Christmas Quilt

 Off to a good start . . .


The pattern is Posh by Chez Moi (free!), found here.
The fabrics are from the Be Merry collection by Riley Blake.

What a fun little quilt!
I cut out all the pieces in one evening,
and had most of the blocks together in a few days.
Originally I had intended to make this quilt larger,
for a double bed, but I ran out of steam.
It will be a lap quilt (aka cuddle quilt!) instead.

My wonderful quilt holder (husband) was wondering if anyone would notice his gloves . . . . it's much colder out now than the last time he held a quilt for me!
But gloves = no complaining, so we went with it!

  8. That's a cute quilt. My WM also does the same thing for me - in fact, there's a quilt top on today's post that he is holding!
