Christmas Quilt

I was inspired to try my hand at a scrappy Trip Around the World quilt in a Christmas theme. I got all the fabrics at a local secondhand craft store. People donate their unused craft items (scrapbooking paper, rubber stamps, dollhouse furniture, unfinished wood pieces, patterns, fabric, etc.) to this store. It is run by all volunteers in the town, and they sell everything very inexpensively. The money goes to support senior citizen transportation in their town. Crafters get to purge their old stash, crafters get to buy stuff to build up their stash at a good price, and seniors get some help - everybody wins. This was inspired by Bonnie Hunter's blog. http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/scrappy-trips-around-world.html

Great lap quilt for December and beyond.
