Cheery Holiday Wreaths
There's nothing more satisfying than finishing a quilt, but when it's a bee quilt that turns out even better than you hoped, it's the icing on the cake. And what's even better is that it's done in time to snuggle under this holiday season.
As with all of my quilts, I brought it to the performing arts center where I work for a fun little photo shoot. This week's production was the Nutcracker Ballet so it was fitting that I had a holiday quilt to photograph in the lobby.
I just love how we have a large glass circular grand staircase with stairs on both sides that wind their way up 5 stories high with balconies at each tier. The photo below is with me on the 2nd tier and the quilt hanging over the 3rd tier balcony. You can see the entrance to one of the theaters. (The quilt completely hides the doors on the 3rd tier.) I know the quilt looks rather small but I was determined to get the orchids into my photo.
This was my StashBee Quilt this year. It's done just in time for me to start on a new one for 2017! This finishes out my last one monthly goal for December and marks another item off my 4th quarter 2016 finish along list.

ReplyDeleteWell done on finishing your Stash Bee quilt in the same calendar year. You now have a clean slate to start next year's bee project.
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy about this finish! This design would be the perfect way to blow through some of my Christmas scraps. Any update on the bleeding problem? I hope you were able to remedy it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! I love all the wreaths together! Great block choice. I liked your idea so much, I'm going with something winter-y for my 2017 Stash bee block. Fantastic finish!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely - and I still love the setting you have for your quilt photo shoot. The only thing I will say is that you have now made me question my choice of Stash Bee 2017 block!!! I had mine all ready but now I think that I would like to go with this one ..... still a couple of weeks to decide.
