I've always wanted a cozy Christmas quilt, so I decided to get ahead of all the holiday rush and get my quilt done early. I used a layer cake of Cherry Christmas fabric, by Aneela Hoey, for the zig zags, and then Kona solid white for the background. The back and binding are also Cherry Christmas fabrics. I machine stitched the binding on, and it actually turned out better that I expected. I'm not as pleased with the front of my quilt, however, and wish that I had used all gray fabric for that last zig zag, instead of gray and white. But, I have a Christmas quilt, and within minutes of it coming out of the wash, Tom and the kids were using it on the couch, so I guess I'll call it a success!
