Christmas Kiss in July

I have a finish! Yeah! The quilt that had been sitting under the cutting table for years and probably would have remained there indefinitely had my dear friend not seen it and wanted it. It is a Christmas quilt so I quilted Holly in the border. And Poinsettias in the blocks.
Now that it is finished I don't dislike it like I used to. I hope my friend will be happy with it.

Lucky friend, Em,
It is a pretty quilt and I really like the quilting symbols that you have put into your quilt.
Good luck with getting more finishes done.
Thanks for coming to visit my blog. I hope you will come and visit again.
Warmest regards,

Since we are all your friends, and we see something we like .... does that mean you will finish it and pass it on to us? :o) Just think of all the UFO's you will get finished!

Lovely quilt and lucky friend to have this beauty!
