Don't you just love getting finished with a quilt? And when it's a holiday quilt, just in time for that holiday and not a month after? I'm best known for the month after. :) There were many "joys in quilting" on this particular piece - I described a few in the previous two posts - but those pauses in my sanity have passed and I'm in love with this quilt! I have no idea where it will hang because it is much too big for my front door as I had planned but you can bet I'll find a place. I added a pin stripe binding and I think it was just the right one. :)
I stippled the background and I can see a lot of progress over the last several months - finally!

Looks great finished. The binding gives it that extra zing.
Oh it's lovely! I love the pin stripe binging -- just perfect. Great job -- I *know* finishing this one feels good!! :)
I am loving this, Marlene! I haven't ever seen circles that I can resist! Well done.
This is wonderful!! Congrats on the finish. Someday, I'll "finish" a quilt too. LOLOL
A beautiful finish!
Marlene, this is a beautiful piece! The tree just pops (pun intended) with happy brightness. I really like it, and congratulate you on a well done finish. Your stippling is very nice, and the striped binding is the perfect finish. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Just lovely , really like the pinstripe binding that added a special touch . Congrats on a finish!
Love it Marlene. The striped binding was a good choice.
Love the circles!!!
I love it! Seeing your posts on this project prompted me to order the circle dies so I could make one too! Can't wait to get started!
Hmm, Marlene, perhaps you could think about making one to the scale you need for your front door and then 'gift' this beautiful wall hanging to a family member...just a thought. You did a fantastic job on it! I love that striped binding you chose!

I love it! Nice work!
I just love this, Marlene! Great job.:) I've enjoyed watching this one come together and had even thought about trying it myself. uhmm....does pinning it on Pinterest count? LOL I guess it will have to be on the next year list. Enjoy! I'm sure you'll find the perfect place for it. :)
Gorgeous!!
