This is a fun scrappy quilt, done with the "Bubbles" quilting pattern.  A nice whimsical pattern to go with the fun fabrics. 

Here's a Christmas French Braid quilt.  What a soft, warm quilt to snuggle up with on a cold winter night, with some hot chocolate.  The lighting must not have been the best when I took these- they look a little washed out.  The colors were very rich & deep.  This was quilting using the Festive Holly pattern.

Have you been to http://www.quiltville.com/ yet? It's full of free quilt patterns & tons of pictures, I go there all the time for inspiration. She has all kinds of ideas for using scraps & making beautiful quilts. I've been trying to use up some of the fabric that I have already & not buy more for a while. Here are two quilts that I've made already using her free patterns:

Here's the pattern link for this one : http://quiltville.com/weedwhacker.shtml

This goes together very fast, it was a fun quilt. I just made a baby size- with the borders it measures 40" square. This is just the quilt top, I haven't quilted it yet.

And here's the link for this pattern : http://www.quiltville.com/scrappytrips.shtml

I oriented the blocks differently that her quilt- I made them all follow a big diamond shape, since the quilt is not so bit. Go to here website, and you can see all different pictures of how others have put this quilt together.

I used the "Bubbles" pattern to quilt this- I think this is such a fun pattern. Here's the back showing the quilting detail.
