Scalloped Christmas Surprise

Probably around 2008, my oldest daughter,

who was barely in high school

wanted to make a quilt

out of these pretty pretty fabrics.

 She pieced together the top.

Pattern is from Livin' Large
by Anka's Treasures.

And it has sat for 9 years,

good grief.

She talked about finishing it;

I talked about finishing it.
 

No one finished it.

 

I had a few goals for this past fall and

this was one of them.

I added borders to the top and bottom,
pieced the flannel back,
had it machine quilted
and then I

 scalloped and bound it.

Scalloping with the

Easy Scallop Template

by Darlene Zimmerman

was well,

easy.

 

It's done,

and I absolutely adore it.

Scallops are going to be

my new best friend.

Needless to say,

she was VERY surprised and happy

Christmas morning.
