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,

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.
