The red
and the green
That vintage red poinsettia yardage had served as our 'tree skirt' for several years and has been washed and dried several times, but you know the story - it bled, just a little - into two of the corner blocks of the first quilt - sigh! Thankfully though, there is absolutely no pink/red staining in either of the white panel backgrounds or the other corner blocks!
Two quick and easy gift quilts that ate up a lot of yardage that had been hanging around here for far too long. Here is a close-up of the quilting and corner blocks for the green quilt.
Working on a few more easy stitching projects for Christmas gifting. Easy sewing is about all I can do until my appointment for new prescription glasses which will likely take another three weeks or so.

Love these. as for the bleed....did you wash again using blue Dawn dish soap? Dawn is great to get rid of dye bleed and keep fabrics from bleeding.
Well, they turned out great. I love the fabrics you’ve used.
Such fun Christmas cuddle quilts.
They turned out so cute. Thankfully, that bleed did not happen on the white.
Cute panels, and a really pretty finish for both of them! ---"Love"
Wonderful Norman Rockwell prints and quilts! Congrats on the finishes.
You've done a beautiful thing with those panels. I adore Norman Rockwell pictures. Your families will love these, and it's a bonus that you got to use stash. Yay! I've been doing a little sewing too, to try out all the features on my new Bernina 770QE. I'm in love! :-) Five personalized (with a name and decorative stitches) zip-top cosmetic pouches are destined as Christmas gifts. I'm so proud of myself! :-) You should be too!
Congrats on finishing...they both look very festive! Your family will have a cozy Christmas with them!
What a darling pair of Christmas quilts!
Your Christmas quilts will be well received - and a good feeling for you to have them completed weeks ahead...2 very nice finishes!!
Your children are going to treasure these beautiful Christmas quilts. Of course anything Norman Rockwell has got to be great!
What a great set of quilts. The panels are perfect for a nostalgia Christmas. Glad you got them done and out of the stash. Your kids are going to love them.
These both turned out great, Pat. It's so frustrating to see that red bleeding, even just a little and even after having been washed and dried several times before. It's good it didn't reach the white in the center. You son's and daughter's families will love them!
Your Christmas panel quilts are gorgeous! These quilts will be loved for years to come!
Fun quilt, love these panels!
