Christmas Quilt-a-long Reveal

Well, now's the time.

Way back in the summer I joined a group of ladies in the Christmas QAL and Challenge. The challenge was to make a quilt where the outer dimensions did not exceed 96 inches and we could not use either red or green.

Here it is, all complete. (click on any of the photos to enlarge them.)
The pattern was a freebie from Connecting Threads called Gifts Galore.

I altered the pattern to meet the requirements of the challenge. 
My table runner measures 31 inches across and...

15 inches in length. 
The total adds up to 92" - well within the rules and there is no red or green at all. It was machine pieced, machine appliqued, hand embroidered and machine quilted.

  13. What lovely gift boxes and so different to mine. I think I goofed on the measurements after reading your post and thought it was no more than 96" square. Oh dear, have a lovely Xmas and take care.
