Crazy Christmas Trees By: QuiltSue,
United Kingdom
I made this quilt last year using a pattern by Sandy Gervais (I think), but I made it larger and added borders. It was a fun quilt to make, but challenging for me as I needed about 30 FQs to start it and I am the person who wrote the book Pick Four, about making quilts using just 4 fabrics

I think all of the quilt are beautiful, so many different styles and everybody did a fantastic job.

What a wonderful display of quilts, good luck to all that entered! I love seeing all the Christmas quilts, but who isn’t ready for the springtime with all the pretty flowers. Won’t be long! I think Bonnie and Camille’s new line April Showers would make a lovely spring quilt. Thanks for all the fun!
