In July I was sewing up the 2024 Christmas Mystery offered by Fat Quarter Shop. It was a lovely design, but I was not thrilled with effect of the finishing step. So my piece hung on the design wall until ideas percolated. I imported a photo of my quilt center into EQ, then played around with options, which is a rabbit hole always worth falling into. Initially, I picked a very intricately pieced narrow 4 inch border. So much work and so me. I let that simmer until I came up with a more reasonable solution. I quickly stitched up that plan before I could change my mind. I am delighted with the outcome. I haven't quilted it yet but that should be fun. It measures 48 inches, point to point. It needs to be a topper, as cutting into it for a tree skirt would ruin the design.
