Christmastide . . .
I hope everyone has had a good time with my "version" of the
12 Days of Christmas. I am not quite done stitching. I will post a
finished picture when it is all done. I hope now that you see
the "finished" project you understand a little better what
I was going for. The 12days of Christmas was just a fun way to
motivate me and you I hope to get started recreating this
great quilt. You will see shapes in this quilt that you did
not receive. These are shapes I added that are personal to me.
Add a few shapes that are special to you - I found most
of my shapes using google images. You will also notice
that I did not use all the shapes I gave you. Be Creative!

Hint: I have 3 daughters, see them standing all in a row?

    It's so creative. I couldn't see it through my own eyes. Now I can see what you had planned and I understand. Thanks for 12 days of anticipation.

    That is great you decided to personalize it. The fabric choices are neat. I saw the quilt on display last year so I had an understanding of where you were headed.

    Great fun, great quilt.
    Enjoyed seeing the almost completed
    quilt. Thank you for sharing
    your drawings and the meaning of the
    symbols each one was a gift. Great
    way to celebrate the season.

    Thank you so much! This is going to be a special project for me this year. I am looking forward to adding some of my own shapes and doing some in wool. What size did your top end up? I am planning on using an old cotton dress shirt and probably won't have 42 inches square. But I will work with what I've got to create something for myself and my family to enjoy. Thanks again for all of the shapes.

    Your Quilt looks wonderful.
    Thanks for putting a picture of it up for us to see.
    I have the V&A calendar and January is that quilt so every time I have downloaded a part I've had a look at the original. I love how you have so many of the original shapes.

    Thank you for sharing all these shapes with us. They are so beautiful. I've always wanted to make an applique quilt like this, and now I have the way to make one!
