Playing!
Saturday, October 15, 2011 at 6:56AM I haven’t had much time on the computer with my son here, but did play briefly this morning with the Yuletide Magic quilt borders.
;)
I’m rather liking the addition of a partial log cabin border, with more enlarged snowflakes added… not sure if I can resize them that much but I think I will have to sew a test sample as I really like this! Of course, by the time I finish adding more borders to complete it, it will have gone well past a wall quilt size!
As you can see, I still have made up my mind about the center block (13 inches). This is my EQ rendition, so I’m having fun playing with it. With the addition of the log cabin borders, I’m thinking a large star block in the center might look better than the embroideries. I’m in no hurry with this one, but am really enjoying the making of it, so who knows yet what my end product will be!

Okay, provided the snowflakes will enlarge enough to stitch out at 8 inches, I think this is how my Yuletide Magic quilt will be.

I added a second small red border after the log cabin blocks, and a two inch floral border, and swapped out the center embroideries for a star block. Works for me!

Wow, it looks gorgeous! I always love the colors you pick and how your projects have a clean finish to them. Thank you for sharing!
it looks really nice to me, I like these embroidery designs with the log cabin setting.

those borders really change the look! I hope to locate my EQ7 update around here this weekend.
The center star seems to be the "anchor" that was needed in the center. The chosen borders work very nicely!!!! D
What fun -- this really is a lovely piece! :)
I really like it. The log cabin border with the enlarged snowflakes looks perfect with the middle section and the red star in the middle adds the POW.
This looks good. It's coming together nicely. Enjoy your time with your son.
As always, that is beautiful!
oh my word... that is gorgeous
I like it very much. I just ordered some Michael Miller fabric, & hopefully I'll get to this quilt this year! I just need to know how to enter the fabric line into EQ. I'm signing up for an EQ class at my quilt shop. Thanks for the inspiration. Diane in Glastonbury, CT
I really like the finished photo. Beautiful as usual:)
Love this version. And the fabrics! I think the Star is perfect for the center
Nicely done CJ!! Just curious what the final dimensions were....and of course we all can't wait to see it "in person".
Oh my CJ. I liked the first one. But, I think you are right on with the last one.
make me one too! I just put my order in to Santa!
Cj, I love that center star!
How do you cut and piece that though? Is it half sq triangles or rectangles?
It would make a beautiful table topper out of my Christmas fabric!!
Thanks,
