I put the borders on my Christmas quilt last night and had it still on the design wall to admire it. Most quilts I make I like, after all they are my color and pattern choices but every once in awhile I make one that I just love and this is one of them. I guess it is partially because I love scrap quilts but also because something so simple can be set to make it look fancier.
I started with 5 inch squares and then made 120 1/2 square triangles. The only hard part was I had to lay it out totally on the design wall and keep it there as I pieced it so I wouldn't turn and pieces around.
I found the setting in a magazine and it is called converging chevrons.
I look forward to getting this one quilted but will have to wait till I get a backing made and a couple of customer quilts done first.

I love your quilt, too -- it's stunning! You did a great job! Take care, Dianne B. in England
It's funny how different people see things - I'm not usually so much into scrappy quilts, but this one doesn't strike me as scrappy. I think it is the strength of the chevron pattern, which I see more than the individual fabrics. It's a great quilt!
Love the setting of your converging chevrons Christmas quilt.
Now that is one very cool looking quilt! Gorgeous!
That turned out great!
I love the movement in the design.
oh Kathie - your Christmas quilt is so striking! Great job!
I like it! Definitely Christmas in July!
looks great!! Sigh, I have some other obligations to quilt before I can get to my quilt too.
Scrap quilts are my favorite! This one's great.
Fabulous! I still love it!
