Christmas Quilt Progress

I started this Christmas Quilt in January, 2018, but was undecided on what I wanted for borders. 
The fabric is "Christmas in The Wildwood" by Nancy Mink for Wilmington Prints.


I loved the fabric but found I didn't want to cut the cardinals. While shopping at a fabric store in Paducah, KY, I saw a quilt where 10" squares were sewn together. So this is what I decided to do with the fabric.


I wasn't really happy with the top so decided to put the quilt top away for a few months until I could decide what I wanted for the borders. Luckily, I had bought two packages of strips and later decided to make a piano border. Strips were sewn together and cut in 13 inch sections for a wide border. I thought the border should be wide since the quilt is king size.


The border is sewn on and I am liking the quilt a lot more now. 


I looked on Pinterest for ideas on the corner of the piano borders and found this idea.






I think the piano border really makes the quilt. Now it is off to the quilter. Thanks for stopping by - Judy.
