My Christmas Quilt

I don't have many christmas quilts. Actually, I have made only one! And to me, this is THE Christmas quilt!! It was started, let me think, I think it was four years ago! (Now I see how important it is to label the quilts!) Well, it was started right before christmas one year, and finished only a few days before christmas next year.
My friend Rannveig from Kreativ Quilt, designed this quilt. She made it with the focuspoint in the middle, but I had to do it my own way!! LOL!
It is made of 48 big blocks and 60 smaller blocks. It is a reversed quilt. You piece and quilt the blocks, and then put them together with sashing in a special way! A lot of work, I can tell!

This is the front, and this is the back of the quilt.
What I like about this quilt, is that it is just as pretty on the "wrong" side as it is on the "right" side!

Until next time, take care!
May Kristin

It is such a beautiful quilt, you don´t need another Chirstmas quilt! I like the quilt-as-you-go method too but you are right, it is a lot of work to sew all the sashings! Take care.
