Christmas Quilt

I was not going to make a Christmas quilt this year until I found this vintage panel at the thrift store with the 12 Days of Christmas.  The panel (1.49) circa 1980's is actually a panel to make a fabric book.   Why not make a quilt with it?!  Well, it took me some time to recognize that each of the intended pages is a slightly different size because its supposed to be a book- duh!  But it is destined to be a quilt in my hands, a very wonky quilt, my specialty!  I love illustrations on this fabric.  The maid a milking and the drummer drumming are a cute pair side by side, no?  Of course, there will be a new Christmas quilt this year!  How many days do I have to finish this one, Lorna?  Making Merry!  Jessica Pearl

  6. Jes, I love this panel and can see them cut apart with wonky log cabin borders in red and green stitched around them! Although I have to admit I did laugh when you referred to it as 1980's circa....my ol' high school days came flooding back to mind!
