Here it is. This is the Christmas quilt all finished and has been on the bed. It is very warm and comfy. As you can see I did not have enough of some fabric to complete rows and didn't pay attention to how the rows were coming out but that adds to the charm. The pattern I used had numerous dark and lights, I wanted Christmas so I used red, green, beige. I had to figure out the strips of the red /green as I was quilting. This is the results.
Here are a couple photos of the back of the quilt. I used some of my Christmas fabric that I bought on sale after Christmas.
The quilt below is a quilt I made five years ago. I appliqued all the pumpkin faces. I cut the pumpkins out free hand along with the eyes, noses, and mouths. I really like this quilt and think it is my favorite. I love Halloween, and this is my Happy Jack quilt. I stays out all year on the couch. Starting to show some wear but it is a much loved quilt.
All my obligations are done for the week other than cleaning here and there and cooking dinner each night so now I can quilt. I will continue to work on my scottie dog quilt and maybe do some longarm on charity quilts. I look forward to seeing what others are working on. Have a great week end.

Ooooh - love the Happy Jacks. Now I've got another one in my "Wish" pile! And the Christmas quilt is sooooo different - my hubby likes it a lot, too!
Congratulations, you have finnished the Christmas Quilt! It is very lovely.
The pumpkins are quite exotic for me here in Finlad, but I like your pumpkin quilt, the pumpkins are really happy. I even have seen quite angry looking pumpkins, and I have wondered, if the children are afraid of them *lol*
Hi!
What a lovely Christmas Quilt. I got a comtemporary feeling when I first saw it. Nice work. Thank you for the comment in my blog.
