Jingle Bells


 
I got my new tumbler die!
 
 
 I had some pieces left from table runners so  I got busy cutting more reddish and greenish fabrics and made me a new Christmas quilt. They are sort of shaped like bells, so that is what I am calling this quilt, Jingle Bells.
 
 


I found some more of this lovely flannel at Joann's to use for a backing.  I love this fabric for Christmas quilts.  I backed a few gifts with it last year and now I have one that I get to keep.


 
The completed size is 50 x 70 which is just right for me on the couch.  My husband can use the original Christmas quilt and I can have my own.... all is well.

    Love it. It kind of looks like gumdrops too from farther back. To each his/her own Christmas quilt. Sounds like a peaceful holiday!
