The new Nancy Halverson Christmas book is out and I get to make this quilt...Tidings!!
It has 9 blocks and the red letters spell Christmas. I love it, but oh, it is labor intensive. Each block has been really fun to fuse.
Here is the Inn block...
Here is the Inn block...Of course, I started with the Star block because it has the least amount of applique....
Rejoice...

Once the applique is done, then I get to do the handwork, such as embroidered eyes and details....Wish me luck--I'm loving this quilt!!

Wow! I can't believe you have that much done. They should pay you extra to do this quilt top. It looks fabulous.
wow you are a wiz at applique!!! Great pattern, ar the rate you are going you'll be having that hanging on the wall real soon for
Christmas in July.
I love this!! Your work is just beautiful. I can't wait to see it finished and at the rate you are going it won't be long.
Take care,

What a lovely holiday quilt ! The colors are so pretty, and you're doing an excellent job with this project. We're enjoying reading your blog.
Best wishes,

Nancy Halvorson's books are wonderful, but you're right some of the projects are very challenging. I'm just finishing the "Bloom" pillow in Garden Song and I believe the prep. is as much if not more work than the actual machine applique. It sure is darling though!
I love this quilt, it's looking just beautiful. You and your family will treasure it for many years.
