Another Christmas Quilt Finished

This is my second finish for the third quarter of the 2014 FAL.
When I picked up this quilt yesterday to work on it, all the straight line quilting had already been completed, So all I had to do was the free motion quilting and add the binding.

I started this quilt in December of 2012.

Last night I finished the quilting and this morning I added the binding.

I have made three Christmas quilts this year so far.

It feels good to use up my Christmas fabric and know

that I have three quilts ready to go for December.

I am linking up to Handmade Christmas.

This link party encourages us to make our Christmas gifts through out the year.

This quilt started out as 2.5 inch strips. I cut a couple from all of my Christmas fabrics then

I sewed one red and one green strip together to make a 4.5 inch wide long strip.

After that I cut a 4.5 inch white strip and placed it on top and sewed down both side making a tube.

I used A Bright Corner's tutorial on how to cute strip tubes and then had lots of fancy HST blocks.

I played around with the layout and took pictures of a few,

but finally ended up with what you see at the top.

Stripe tube piecing is a quick and easy way to make a Christmas quilt.

I just may make another and use the pinwheel layout.  I am really liking that one too.
