I have followed the Christmas in July Blog Hop hosted by Rebecca of Sew Festive Handmade. Today is the link-up of projects you made during all the lovely inspiration.
I entered one on my mini feather trees from the Think Christmas Blog Hop in the mini catagory. Fun rick-rack, stitchery and buttons for a whimsical tree for my 12" table topper hanger.
This is my finished quilt made during the monthly installments of Festive Mystery by Sue Aubry of QuiltTimes. I opted to have one less row than her pattern - but had the blocks made, so used them to make a matching pillow. The quilt is 44" x 52" and the pillow is 18".
I used a green thread for one direction of the cross-hatch quilting. And then a red thread for the opposite direction of the cross-hatch.
I love this red on red floral wide backing on the quilt. The pillow is an over-lap design - using the berry print - so the casing can be removed for cleaning. I will probaly use this set on my day bed during the holiday season.
Please visit Rebecca to see all the entries. There are three catagories: Quilt/Tree Skirt, Home Decor, Small Project.
Sewingly Yours,

Love the creative button tree and the quilt is lovely too. Love green/white and red.
That turned out great! I love the quilting on it!
Just love the colours and layout of the quilt Sharon! So festive! :)
The Festive Mystery Quilt looks perfect, and the backing is just right. Nice idea to use red and green thread for the quilting.
Oh don't I love your projects! Love to see that little tree and festive mystery quilt. Wow!
oh i love all your projects Sharon,you are so clever,well done.xx
Great projects Sharon!
I love your little mini, and your mystery quilt is beautiful! So smart to use the extra blocks to make a pillow - I usually put them on the back but this is much more useful!!
Love the innovative touches you use -- two colors of thread is neat!
Good pattern for Christmas quilt. I would have put the extra blocks on the back. A pillow is a much better idea. Quilting with two colors of threads, another good idea. This quilt is a perfect snuggle size when it's cold this winter.
Hope your cute mini feather tree does well in the mini category :D
I Love the Christmas mini! Love, Love, love!

I like the idea of using red thread in one direction and green for the other in the cross-hatching. I love the border on the Christmas quilt.
Very festive. Do you still use the quilt during the holiday season?
That little ric rac tree is adorable!
Merry Christmas!
The Festive Mystery looks good. I especially like the two colors of thread quilting idea--fits the piecing well.
Thank you for sharing. I like the idea of 2 different colors of threads in the quilting.
Great quilt for Christmas, hopping over from Vals
