Finish-Pixie Noel

     A few weeks ago I started a sweet little Christmas quilt using fabric from the Pixie Noel collection by Tasha Noel for Riley Blake, which I wrote about HERE.  It's always great to link a finish isn't it!



     Small quilts are wonderful for so many reasons.  They are relatively quick to make; you can try different quilt patterns and quilting patterns; you don't have to piece your backing; there's always a little person somewhere who would love a quilt.  I used a craft-size batting for this quilt.  I trimmed off the excess from the bottom (wheres the bottom on a square-right) and attached it to the side with a zig zag stitch.  
      The easy all-over quilt pattern is meant to give a feeling of a slightly windy day.  

 Aren't these little vignettes adorable!




You can find all of the fabrics I used to make this quilt HERE.  The yummy flannel backing is HERE.

  1. Those fabrics are so fun! I love making small quilts too. They're great to practice a new FMQ design on without committing a lot of time. Not to mention the satisfaction of a fast finish! :)

  3. The simplicity of the design enhances the wonderful fabrics. My favourite quilt size is 50-60 inches square, they are so usable, and much easier to quilt on a domestic machine too.

    1. Aren't the fabrics adorable. I agree, quilts that are 50-60 inches square are pretty versatile.
