And I just love the stylized shots that the magazine takes. Doesn't that just make you want to jump in to that picture and snuggle up!!!
For this quilt, I used Overnight Delivery by Sweetwater for Moda Fabrics. My all time favorite Christmas line was Countdown to Christmas by Sweetwater so when I saw that they were bringing back that same feel and color scheme for Overnight Delivery and adding some fun buffalo checks, I knew it was the perfect line for this quilt!!! And it really is, I think the splashes of black and text just adds to that whole suburbia feel ;)
When it came time to quilt it, I wanted to have is snowing in the suburbs, so I quilted a fun wavy line for a breeze and then added some snowflakes in it so it gives the feel of a wintry flurry. I just love how it turned out, and the black buffalo check on the binding was the perfect way to finish the quilt :)
So that's Christmas in Suburbia. And I hope you just love it as much as I do ;) And if you make your own Christmas in Suburbia I would love to see it. You can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com, post it to social media with #happyquiltingwithmc or or add it to my flickr group here ;) I can't wait to see your Christmas in Subrubia Quilts!!!
Have a Happy Quilting Weekend.
