Well, here is my version of "A Christmas Wish", finished and ready to hang in my home for Christmas.
Download A Christmas Wish BOM finishing instructions if you would like to make the quilt like mine. I have used scraps for all of it (but I still have more!!!)
here is an example of the quilting, I have used perle 8 thread in ecru. I have quilted the last border in the same way as the smaller block borders.
I would love to see photos of finished quilts, sooooo when you are ready, send them in!!!
here is Janna's
and visit here to see Tudy's.
Back soon with more!!!
Cheers
Gail

Thank you so much for making this BOM for us :o) Yours turned out sooo beautiful!!! I have a lot of Christmas fabric scraps too, and I look forward to get them in this one :o) I just started the BOM, but I'm working on the third now, so I guess I'll be finished before Christmas ;o)
Have a great day, and Happy sewing :o)
PS! Now I've seen photos of yours and Leanne's projects for you classes in Trondheim, and they are gorgeous! My favorite? "Laila's garden" of course :oD

My quilts are not going to be as big as yours so I don´t really know yet how to finish but Im thinking about putting some yellow to it. Wait and see perhaps it´s ready so I can show you in Trondheim

Love both yours and Janna's finished quilt, each lovely in their own way, but thanks for sharing your finishing instructions cause I believe I will finish mine like yours.
Again, thanks for sharing your talent with your readers, I have loved doing the embroidery on the squares.

Thanks so much again Gail! Also, I love your finished quilt and the finishing directions. I had already cut the 2 1/2" blocks but need to finish "Magic" and then I am ready to go. It has been so much and looking forward to getting your book. It's going to be a birthday gift!
