This is my entry to the 2011 Christmas Quilt Show which you will find here: http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com/2011/11/2011-christmas-quilt-show-welcome.html
Darlene of SewCalGal does a wonderful job organizing this event. The prizes are many and desirable, so thank you to Darlene and the sponsors.
My entry is the Christmas Wreath Quilt I made as part of a mystery qal run by Eric Homemade Ezine. http://erikhomemade.typepad.com/erik_homemade/
I love the design of this quilt, but I also love that I used crochet to enhance the design by adding crocheted stars to the wreath.
And I added buttons, decorative machine stitching, and simple fmq.
I hope you enjoy the Christmas Quilt Show and visit the many bloggers who post an entry.
Thank you for stopping by.
God Bless!

Thank you for showing us your wonderful Christmas wreath quilt again - it is beautiful, and you should be very proud of it.
Showing the border quilting has given me a fresh idea for quilting the border of Scatty Stars - it is giving me a headache as I have tried various FMQ designs and unpicked them all, but now I have a new idea, thank you!
And if I get a move on with it and the binding I will show it in SewCalGal's quilt show too!
Very pretty. I love the crocheted snowflakes.
