So this week I'll be making the quilt sandwiches and will be starting on the stitch in the ditch.

Christmas Quilts - Part 6
I got the first part of the trapunto completed on the bird border and all the excess batting has been trimmed. I finished making the backing for the two Christmas quilts. The first one with the pine cone rows will be used with the cardinal border quilt. The second one with the poinsettia rows will be used with the other quilt. The red fabrics are different. The one with the pine cones is Robert Kaufman's Fusion 5573 in Lipstick while the other red is the red fabric that was part of the border fabric on the second quilt. That border ran along each selvage and the red was the remainder of the fabric.
So this week I'll be making the quilt sandwiches and will be starting on the stitch in the ditch.

hope the tropunto worked out the way you wanted -- a lot of fiddling, but done now :-)
The backings look great! Happy Sandviching! That's the part of quilt-making that I find the most difficult and boring!
