Christmas in July ~Then and Now ~ Blog Hop ~ My Day

Welcome to my

Christmas in July ~ Then and Now

Here is my "Then" quilt.

In 2012, I posted this photo of Katniss' First Christmas with us
and said I had made it a "few years ago" so I know it predates 2012.
As it does not appear in any other photos on my blog, I know it also
predates my blog which was started in 2009.

All I know is it is the first Christmas quilt I made.

It was made with a panel, some fat quarters and yardage
from an old Nancy Halvorsen collection.
I love the colors in this quilt and the vintage designs.

I made a pillow with then leftover fabrics

Here is the pillow with my "Now" quilt.
The greens and shades of red are similar and there is a bit of gold.

My "Now" quilt is this one ...

A Poinsettia Winter from In the Beginning Fabrics

I love this quilt!
