My version of this quilt is 102" by 102" and has a piano key border instead of the pieced border Bonnie used. I used all scraps and stash for this quilt top except for the backing, which is a Thimbleberries Christmas print that I found on sale.
My longarmer, Denise Zapf, did a great job on the quilting. The center is a pantograph that loops and swirls. Denise did 2 alternating patterns on the piano key strips.
She worked really hard on this one, and I appreciate her efforts. So much so that I am going to have a hard time giving this one away. My siblings and I are going to buy a king sized bed for my parents' house, so that we all have a comfortable place to sleep when we visit her. I think I will give this quilt to my mom for this new bed. But it is going to be hard to part with this one!
I have bound 3 quilts this week, and have no more waiting to bind! It's been a good quilting week!

Wow! Three quilts finished in a week. Congratulations! Is your design wall empty now?
I really really like this! Always like a piano key border too; great work. Will look good on any bed.
Your Carolina Christmas is wonderful! Good job!
