A little Hot Dish for Christmas

In spite of the busy holidays I found a little quiet time 
to finish the binding on this dear little baby quilt.  

We did some babysitting for our little grandson while his folks went out to see Holiday Inn at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre.  After the little guy's bedtime, this grandma was able to finish hand sewing the binding.

The pattern is called Minnesota Hot Dish by Atkinson Designs.  I tried to pick colors out of my scrap bags that reminded me of Minnesota:  leafy forest greens, rich earthy browns and all the blues of the lakes, rivers and sky.

This was so easy to make, and there weren't any seams to match across.  It's one I would make again!

Still in the works before the end of the year are... keeping up with Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt "Good Fortune", finishing Temecula Quilt Company's "Secret Santa", and making the December block from "Remembering Cheri".

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
