The Christmas Tree quilt is totally done. Quilting, binding, label attached. I even washed it so it is all plumped up. So, depending on your point of view, the quilt is very early or very late.
The quilt with plaid binding before washing. When washed, it puffed up and the binding lays flat. Because I do glue binding, it looks wavy here now, but it isn't. |

Oh, and that boo-boo I cut into the border edge? I found two scraps of border fabric, front and back, and sewed them to the edge of the border, right sides facing the quilt. Because I sew on vintage machines, bulk is never an issue.
Then I pressed both pieces towards the edge, inserted a tiny slice of batting, and trimmed the border edge even with the rest of the border. I used a litttle Elmers glue (washable) to hold that edge together when I sewed on the binding. The result I think is hardly noticeable.

Congratulations on a beautiful finish (your spirals are so pretty in the background - so consistent and lovely).
AWESOME!! You did a wonderful job on that "fix" - ;))
I vote for very early. Think of the fun you will have pulling that quilt out in December.
That turned out great. Glad you could fix the boo-boo. If you don't point it out to anyone, I bet they never see it.
My vote is also that this is an early finish for Christmas 2021. What a fantastic way to use up strips of assorted Christmas prints! It looks beautiful and very controlled. Great job, and REALLY cool how you fixed the boo-boo. Thanks for sharing that process, since we ALL make mistakes!
Late or early it is a lovely finish. Nice work.
Never late...always early! Way to go it looks great. Only the sharpest eye would see it. Now deep breath and sigh.. All done!
it is perfectly on time!!! I love it - its colors, its wintery feel - just perfect!
It doesn't matter! It's done and it's beautiful.
Congratulations on a fabulous and festive finish, Linda!!
Late congratulations on your Christmas Tree quilt finished up!! Looks wonderful.
