I started this quilt late in 2018.
The blocks were completed in December '18 and
have been waiting nearly a year to be sewn together.
At long last they are now a quilt top.
48" x 64"
And while I was at it - I pieced the back.
Three panels with 2.5" strips in between
plus fabric leftover from previous
Christmas quilt backs.

After Thanksgiving I plan to get busy
and quilt Feliz Navidad so we can use it
during the upcoming Christmas season.
It feels good to have a "finish"
to share here.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Christmas cheer!
Love your top. Nice blend of Christmas fabrics and fantastic back! I never thought to turn the panels sideways and make a backing. Great idea! I am a shamed to say that I do seem to buy multiples of panels sometimes. Great way to use them.
Ugh! Now, you've got me wanting to drag out all of my Christmas quilt stuff. Thanks a lot, Julie!! (Like I needed one more thing to do.)
Love it!!! Maybe I still have time to start one? :)
It is so striking! And so your style. Good work! And you get more done than any three people I know. LeeAnna
Love your quilt. You have inspired me!
Every year I think I will make a Christmas quilt, and then the year rockets by! Congratulations on your finish!
The panels are perfect for the quilt back. (I am not a panel person but I do like pieced backs.)
I'm another quilter who always intends to have a Christmas quilt ready for the festive season, never seem to make it though, perhaps next year! I love Feliz Navidad.
