The Fat Quarter Shop’s Deck-Ade the Halls Quilt…
See my very tall DH’s head over the top of the quilt? It was a bit windy and he had to let the bottom of the flimsy touch the ground so I could get a somewhat decent photo.
This was an It’s Sew Emma pattern and for the most part, a beginner can make this. I did have some issues in that a few of my blocks did not measure as the pattern indicated and it DID matter in the end. I was able to find a way to make it all work though.
This one is off to the long-arm quilter. It will be bound and laundered the next time you see it….woohoo!
Next weekend is my sweet Mother’s 70th birthday and we have a couple of surprises for her… I’ll be back to share photos and a story or two J
Have a wonderful week my friends!

What a wonderful gift for you. It is a great design for the holidays.
Your quilt top looks great! Congratulations on getting it finished! :0)
What a sweet Christmas quilt! I wish I had your talent. I have been collecting vintage pillow cases to cut into squares for a quilt top some day. I have never made a real quilt though and am a bit intimidated to try it. I need to just bite the bullet and at least start cutting squares or something! Enjoy celebrating with your mom....and tell her Happy Birthday from one of your blog friends...:)
Blessings, Vicky

It's so dang cute! It's fantastic you will get to use it this year too!
I love your Christmas quilt especially the ornaments which take center stage. Good for you for finishing up in time for the holidays. I always stall out at the last minute it seems. Forgot to tell you how amazingly delicious your pumpkin tarts look too. Hve a great week.

Gifts to yourself are the best, Jeanna ;>) Finding a way to work around those pesky measurements that don't work is always satisfying, too! Happy 70th to your mother!
Cheers!
