Nativity Quilt Top

I love this quilt top!


I collect Nativity Scenes - I'm not sure exactly how many I have but I
know it is more than 50 - I'll have to count them again this year when I get them out, but I have several more than I had last year.



When I decided I wanted to make a Christmas wall hanging, it just seemed natural to make a Nativity Quilt.  I was thrilled when I found this pattern!




I finished the top last year, but that was before I had my new sewing machine, so I haven't quilted it yet.  I am planning to quilt it before Christmas this year.


Aren't these little figures adorable?  The shapes are foundation pieced, and have batting inside them so the figures are 3 dimensional.


The instructions in the pattern were well done and easy to understand.  I am so excited to get it finished and hanging up on the wall!

The name of the pattern is called "Christmas!", by Ruth Jensen.  This is perfect for my Christmas decor - now if I can just decide how to quilt it and get busy!  Any ideas???

  1. This is just darling! Simple quilting so it doesn't detract. How is that for being non-helpful? lol
