Twelve Quilts of Christmas 2021 – #3
The primary motif used in the stitching patterns in this quilt are leaves, but if you look closely some of the leaves in one of the borders have been “bent” slightly to form tulips. Do you see the different fill lines used in the leaves.
Jen likes the sophistication of the stitching patterns in this quilt and I couldn’t agree more. I appreciate how instead of fans in the corners of the central rectangle, that the quilter instead used leaves on an angle and then filled with a loose spiral in the corner. Delightful.
Jen also thinks the centre piecing represents the face of a cat! Now I can’t un-see that. Sorry if you can’t either now!

The quilting is lovely, but that piecing! Wow! So many choices to make, and they seemed to choose the oddest one each time! I love that!
If that’s a cat in the center–and I do see a cat!–it’s the most tousled cat I’ve ever seen. Perhaps fear or a fight caused his fur to sprout outward around his face!
What a beauty of a quilt: the color choices, the fabrics, and the quilting.
