Well here it is, almost pieced!! I have had so much fun making up the layout for this quilt. The stitcheries do come from Bronwyn Hayes' book A Pocketful of Christmas but the layout is all mine. That in itself is pretty amazing as I usually only reproduce other peoples ideas. As I have too many great things to make that others have designed I do not normally "think for myself."
All I need to do now is add the outer border. I "think" I will use the red fabric, but am undecided. Any suggestions, what do you think???
My photography is a bit average, I could not manage to take a clear, focused picture for some reason. Here is a semi-focused close-up of the centre block - Visions of Sugarplums.

What a fabulous quilt, and your embroidery is beautiful.
Gorgeous! I'm actually inclined to think that it needs a border of the light blue print you've used between the blocks and then a red print outer border.
I find Blogger tends to make photos a bit fuzzy anyway - I'm constantly frustrated with the photo quality on my blog!!
Hi Cathy, I agree the red border.You have done a beautifuly job on this quilt. Regards Lyn
