Rick Rack Christmas Trees

This was a fun quilt to make! I used several different greens for the trees, a white on white for the background and a gold with a little glitter for the stars. The red fabric is my favorite because it has little multi-colored Christmas lights sprinkled all over. It made the perfect trim for the trees.

My friend Stephanie gave me this pattern quite a while ago. My friend Ty quilted this for me on her longarm. If you click on the picture you can see a bigger version which shows the quilting close up. Also, I used the gold for piping in the binding.

Several people asked for information on the pattern for this quilt. It is designed by Marjorie Rhine of Northwest Quilt Designs. Her website is www.QuiltDesignNW.com. I haven't been to the site so I hope it works for you!

Thanks for all the compliments on my November Schnibble.

    That is one of the cutest Christmas tree quilts I have seen. I don't believe I have ever seen that rickrack pattern before. You're right that red bulb fabric is perfect. I also love the extra attention to detail with that gold piping.
