Silhouette Christmas Quilt

Is anyone else doing this quilt from Bernina and OESD?

I saw it and fell in love!  While mine will basically be the same, I chose a different line of fabrics, “Together” by Brannock and Patek for Moda to do mine in.

I’m also going to do the appliqués in felt.  National Wovens has a new line out called “XoticFelt” made from a bamboo/rayon blend that is dry cleanable. I am testing a piece in the washing machine on the delicate cycle, as I have to be able to wash my quilts!

Since I have the AccuQuilt Studio and not the GO!, I’ll have to cut my appliqués by hand as these dies are not available for the Studio.  Or I may convert them and let the Cutwork software and tool cut them out.  I’ve never worked with felt before, so we’ll see how it goes!

These are my fabrics.

This morning I’m going to get them all starched, and I have the felt in the washing machine now.  I’d like to get at least one block made today to see how I like it!
