Christmas Wallhanging

I have a new Christmas wallhanging.  I started this in a class at Frank’s in Waukesha.  For this class you had to purchase Feathered Christmas Tree pattern by Cherry Blossom Quilt Studio. 

The pattern is actually how to use the Accuquilt die set.  The picture on the pattern shows a red print fabric for the tree and a white background.  Of course, that meant that every student came to class with a light background and a colored fabric for their tree.  That is everyone, but me.  I fell in love with the new metallic fabrics that have hit the market.  The printing process has changed and now you can find shimmery gold, silver and other metallic colors on quilting cottons.  Unlike metallic inks of the past, there is no noticeable difference in the feel of the fabric when metallic inks are used versus standard colors.

We came to class with the fabric for the tree prepped with fusible web.  In the class, we used the Accuquilt cutter to cut the pieces for the tree, place them on the background and iron them into place.  We won’t discuss how many months it took me to finish this….
