Finished middle section and sewn down fans

Here it is and I think the golden leaves and berries did much for this quilt. Everything is done on it..the windows are there, smoke out of the chimney and I could not remove my name on the mail box, the stitching was so tiny, not one of my seam ripper could get it out nor none of my sharp embroidery scissors either..so what I did was go over it with gold metallic..it is okay but next time I will know to use a lighter thread!! What do you think? I have sewn the outer points with a decorative stitch..we iron the seams open and knew I did not want to do a stitch in the ditch..now I am saving the middle part for quilting. I will add a backing fabric and do the quilting..but I have to square it and add the four corners to it..but to me the hard part is done..a lot of work for a 9 inch circle..now if it wasn't a Christmas quilt, it would have never been done...but I am one who loves to decorate at Christmas and go way out.
A closer look at the holly leaves and berries.
A closer look at the scene itself. I added more snow to the ends of the berries and leaves on the bottom part..Thank you for viewing my blog and leaving comments....like every one else I love receiving comments. hugs, Lorraine
