Joshua's Christmas Quilt 2014

                                 

I took a quick trip to New Orleans for the Fourth and decided to start on my nephew's Christmas quilt during the trip.  Yes, you are seeing this right.  It's another french knot project.  I don't know why I love them so much, but I do.

I am using Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton in the color Nightfall and DMC embroidery floss number 125.  The floss is variegated and lots of fun to work with.

I've already come up with a name for this quilt, but if I share it now, I'm sure it will give away some of the design elements I'm planning to use and I want there to be bit of surprise for my sister when she sees it.  So for now, it will go by the code name "Joshua's Christmas Quilt".
