Christmas Stroll Quilt!!!

 It is time for Christmas in July, and I am super excited to have 3 Christmas quilts to share with you this week that I made late last year as a little secret sewing for my good friends at Moda Fabrics ;)     And now I am super excited to get to share all of this Festive Sewing for Christmas in July!!!    So let's start with the first, Christmas Stroll by Thimble Blossoms!!! 

Isn't this quilt just so great!!  The happy Christmas prints and colors are just so festive!!  I always love Bonnie and Camille fabrics, and this Merry Little Christmas fabric line is their last Christmas collection together before Bonnie retired which just makes so special :)    And can I just say that border print, Love, Love, Love!!!    


The piecing in this quilt is oh so much fun :)   I love a good sampler quilt, ut there are still enough of each of the blocks to allow you to do some good ol chain stitching.   I think my favorite block though was the patchwork stocking, just so cute!!!   It finishes at 74 x 84 so it is a great size to snuggle up in and have displayed each Christmas.  

And when it came time to quilt it, I just decided on an all over curly q.   I love the gentle finish it gives the quilt.  And a fun feather in the border just finishes it off perfectly.  Good ol' 402 Pearl blended perfectly in all of these light and dark colors, my go to for the win every time!! 


So the snuggling for me will have to wait until it makes it's way home.  (maybe it will make it for back for Christmas)   But you don't have to wait!!!  Merry Little Christmas fabrics are shipping now and Fat Quarter Shop has a Christmas Stroll Quilt Kit already available.  And don't you just love the boxes the kits come in, so cute!!!   Now you can do a little Christmas in July sewing and have it ready to snuggle up with this year ;)  



I am so happy that I got to make this beautiful Christmas Stroll quilt, it really was such a joy to make!!   And I love that I listened to Christmas Music while sewing away, who cares what time of year it was, I just love the happy feeling I get whenever I am Christmas Sewing!!!! 



And that is it for today !!

Be sure to pop in tomorrow for the Second Christmas In July quilt share!!

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!
