My favorite time of the year is the Holiday season.  I love the decorating, the cooking and having family and friends fill our home with laughter.  Family and friends hold a special place in my heart especially at Christmas time.

So when the In Your Words came along, I knew that I wanted to do something on Christmas.  I asked my Hubby and Daughter to help me list words that represent the feeling of Christmas and family to them...added a quote from Charles Dickens...and created a quilt top that can become part of our family traditions.  It has a sweet reminder that Christmas should be part of the everyday.

I used the Blitzen by Basic Grey along with Kona off-white.  

I love the star effect of the string pieced blocks.  While there is a scrappy look to the piecing, I tried to maintain a certain color sequence which I think gives the blocks an almost kaleidoscope effect.

I machine embroidered the quote and our words along with snow flakes using colors from the line of fabric.

Thank you, again, for stopping by.  While you are here, I hope you will look around and leave a comment or two.  

And visit again soon.

Till then...

~~Quilt Much!
