I had to join the Fabric Shack mini quilt swap!
My partner was @njcrabtree (Natalie Crabtree)
I selected this Layer Cake "Jingle" by Kate Spain
I also luv the book "Modern Holiday" by Amanda Murphy
It didn't take long to find the perfect pattern...
"Holiday Forest"
Of course I like to change the pattern up a little bit.
so instead of solid trees
I made scrappy trees!
The white background is looking great...kind of a swirly look
I also decided not to put trunks on the trees.
Just a small border and the top is done!
I had some left over charm squares for the backing.
Here's the back...
