"Pine Valley Christmas"
With Wanda Somers
We will be making the Pine Valley Christmas Quilt from the pattern by
Maple Cottage Designs. This quilt is easy and is a fun quilt to make. The
pattern consists of 2 main blocks, the trees and the barn, with sashing and
borders. The trees are very pretty, but the red barn gives a very striking
accent to the quilt. The trees in my quilt are all made with scrappy fabrics
in different Christmas colors, but the colors you use are your choice.
Several of you commented that you like the 4-layer trees in my quilt better
than the 3-layer trees in the pattern, so we will be changing the trees to 4
layers. We will be making the large throw size which measures 60” x 71”
and cutting directions are given for that size. I think we will be able to get
most of the blocks made in class and I look forward to seeing you there.
