The last thing I did last night before going to sleep, was stitching on the binding to my "Urban Holiday" quilt.
I'm so happy with how this quilt turned out and LOVE how the red and white striped binding finished it off!
I think each ornament takes on a look of it's own.
28 Ornaments and 28 different designs. Towards the end of it all I think I was going "crazy", did you happen to spot the GRINCH!! That was for the kids. ;o)
Love how the back looks!
You can really see the string of beads.
A pattern will be available in a couple of weeks for those of you wanting to make "Urban Holiday" this year!
Many questions were asked about my quilting process and so I took a picture of everything I used.
I also took some great ideas for the bow...the bell...and the stocking. Thanks so much for that! The bow ornament is my favorite one!
Thanks so much for following my progress on this quilt, I've loved sharing my progress on it and am so happy to have it done!
Do you have a favorite ornament?

Oh that binding fabric is perfect! What a great selection of designs and yes I saw the Grinch right away! :)
Question about your clear circle templates...what kind are yours? I am looking into buying a set and have no clue which ones to get.
Your quilting is utterly superb.
This is just lovely! You have such talent, thank you for sharing!
Looks great! Love the pearls. I like that you gave each ornament its own style. Beautiful!
#17 & #19 are my fans(if I had to pick) They are all wonderful. This quilt is really "show "worthy Jenny. Hope you enter your Urban loveliness in a BIG quilt show. Will I see you next Saturday?

Fantastic challenge! You have outdone yourself! I'd like a pattern please!
This is probably the most gorgeous quilt I've seen so far, to be honest! It is stunning!!! Thanks for the tip, and sharing which tools you used. That is very helpful for a newbie like me :-) I should have bought some of these circle rulers before I started the quilt I'm working on... would make the designs so much more accurate... I've been looking for rulers like this, but maybe you can share a tip where to buy them?
Wish you a great weekend!
I can't choose a favorite.......my jaw is still lying in my lap !
I linked to you in my latest blog post, because I actually feel sorry for people who haven't seen your latest work !

I've commented on your last two posts and I have to say it again. This is the best quilt I've seen all year, if not ever. You should enter it in a show or something. Stunning, unique, fun, perfect, the end.
Wow Jenny this quilt is just so amazing beautiful. I wish I could quilt half as well as you do. I love the Grinch but all the designs are fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
