Merry and Bright - December Kitchen Table Quilt

Two years after this project began,

Merry and Bright, the twelfth of twelve monthly 

kitchen table quilts is finished and ready for use.

(you can read about the series HERE)

Finished size is 65" x 65"

You can read the flimsy's reveal post here

which includes a link to the free download

I used to design this quilt's top.

I took this photo outdoors before the quilt was laundered.

I am SO glad I went ahead and changed 

to this whole cloth backing.

And I do love the striped binding.

(not my usual Michael Miller Clown Stripe but a version

that is a bit narrower - maker unknown)

Quilted with liberated triple echoed orange peels

using Glide in German Granit.

Now back to packing away the autumn decor

and unpacking our Christmas things . . .
