Christmas Postage Stamp Quilt


I rushed to get the quilt top done today, I still had the last 4 boarders to finish. It was bright and sunny outside after a few days of fog, so good day to take photos outside. As I write this it is clouding over already. 



I started this quilt in early December when I won a cute fat quarter with Penguins on it. Also I was quilting a cute Christmas quilt for a customer. I realized I do not have a good Christmas quilt and I need one. 

Edit: I was asked how big this quilt was and how big are my postage stamps. The quilt top measure 76" square and I used all 2" square to make the quilt. I then stayed with 2" cut sizes for the white sashing and boarders too. 


I had a little breeze to to fluff out my quilt in the wind. This fence is our outside riding ring. 



I am glad I got to take photos out in the snow today.


I have added this post to Crazy Mom Quilt's Finish up Friday


Can you spot the many Penguins I used? Also there is nutcrackers, snowmen, a chickadee, mittens, chocolates and Christmas lights. I am not able to quilt this right away, some customers are wanting their quilts first. I hope to have the quilt done in time to enter in a few quilt shows with the local quilt guilds. Then it will be ready for Christmas later this year.
