I was determined to have a Christmas quilt finished for Christmas this year. I'm almost there the top is done. I decided to do this one using blanket stitch applique because it's just a lot faster for me. Some was done while travelling in the car so don't look too hard. Now I have to be determined enough to quilt it myself before Christmas .
It's a Michelle Ridgeway design called " A Holly Cottage Christmas" with one block changed to add a Santa.

| I added a bit of poetic license here and added a Santa instead of a bird I think. |

| May have left a few flowers off the cottage as well . I think I was going back to do it and got too excited about piecing it. Oh well I can still do it. |

Love it, Jenny! I ALWAYS change things when I use a pattern for a quilt. I want to make it mine, so don't follow any pattern exactly.
It's so nice to see your completed quilt top Jenny. The Santa is a cute addition. Good luck for yur quilting goals and getting it completed before Christmas!
A lovely quilt top, and of course a Christmas quilt needs a Santa. You have plenty of time to get it quilted.
I love Michelles Holly Cottage... well done finishing your version.... ready for Christmas this year?

Goodluck Jenny. It looks great I'm sure you will get it quilted......
Lovely quilt Jenny, always good to put your own spin on a quilt.
I’m sure you will get it done in time. So nice to have a Christmas quilt.
That is lovely
It looks great - I'm sure Michelle would be OK with your poetic license - we all do it...well most of us!
