Last gasp of Christmas

      It is finished, the improv Christmas Trees wall hanging. I like it so much, I hung it up near my side door so I can love it each time I leave the house or go into the basement. It is ok it is out of season now, it makes me smile. I love the fabric I found on clearance at Joann's for the back. I never use glitter fabric, but this was fun.

     And also, a tablerunner that was made from cut off HSTs from the Christmas Tree quilt I made last year. I could not throw them out, so I sewed them into 4s and then arranged into a tablerunner that was gifted to an admiring friend.

I would have hung your tree up now, too! It is so cute. And your backing fabric is perfect! Great use of your left over HST's, too.

I think you could easily leave the tree quilt up until the last snowflake has fallen since some trees look like they have snow on them. It could come back out of hiding as soon as the next winter starts too.

I really like the tree quilt and it looks more like Winter than Christmas with the snow on the trees. I would keep it up and enjoy it as long as the cold weather is around. Happy weekend!

I LOVE your tree quilt and vote that you keep it up all year long - because you can - LOL - ;))

If it makes you smile - the keep it there until it doesn't make you smile. Then you can bring it back at Christmas.
