Christmas Pure and Simple

I'm still on a panel kick. This one had several small pictures with it.  First I trimmed up the main part of the panel into a size that worked for me. Then I trimmed up four of the small pictures that I wanted to use in this wall hanging. The flying geese were made using two of the dies from my Accuquilt 8" cube and fabrics from my stash. 

The blue border was the first thing that was added to the panel. This was made to bring it up to a size that worked with everything else, yes some math was involved, thank goodness for calculators!  All the fabrics were from my stash and I had to do a bit of digging to find the right shade of blue.  I only had a fat quarter of the perfect blue so I pieced a few strips to make it work. Since I only wanted four of the small pic's I added the red fabric for spacers. And then the flying geese were tamed into their position.

Once the green stripe border was added to pull it all together it was whisked away to my quilting machine.  Using Glide thread and Hobbs 80/20 batting I made quick progress on this wall hanging that measures just under 37 x 32".

Diagonal lines in the small pictures. And the flying geese were all stitched in one continuous line. The green stripe border said it wanted simple piano keys, so I followed the darker green stripe stitching on every fourth one. Adding a red polka dot tone on tone binding finished this one up. Then it was lined up for a photo shoot and listing on Etsy.
