Finished Piecing the Christmas Quilt Top and Back

The last time I visited, I told you about the quilt top I was making from the soft book panel, Twas the Night Before Christmas. I finished piecing that quilt top and the back for it. However, I'm not sure when the quilting will actually begin. Below are pictures of these finished sections so far with better close up pictures to follow. Click on the pictures to enlarge them so you can see more of the details.

The quilt top itself was made using the book sections of the panel, strips and blocks of matching fabrics, and quilt blocks made from 3 1/4 inch 9-patch blocks, diamond-square blocks, and fill-in squares.

The quilt back was made from a Christmas patchwork print that was framed with green and red strips.

Below are some close-up pictures from different sections of the quilt top. I wanted a touch of blue in the quilt because of the touch of blue in many of the pictures in the quilt. So, I used that for the very top "sky" portion of the quilt top.

I hope you enjoyed today's post. Please drop me a note in the comment section below this post and let me know what you think! I'd love to hear from you.
