The quilt top is finished. If you haven't read the first post, the pattern I used is "Nativity Quilt" by Cheri Safiote-Payne. I made a couple changes but not much. I just finished sewing the last border on. A good day of sewing.
I finished doing the embroidery of the words on the quilt this morning. Then I went back to the machine to complete the stitching around the appliques. And last, the borders. I like the Folk Art look of this quilt. Not everyone's cup of tea but it is mine. I am happy with the piece. Now to quilt it.

I like it, great fabric choices and wonderful applique! The border really sets it off. Have fun quilting it and I'll be looking forward to seeing it all finished!
I hope this isn't a repeat of a comment I just left. I don't think it was successful. So, thanks for leaving a comment on my Civil War quilt-along blocks, you're very sweet. I love your Nativity quilt, it's naive quality is gorgeous and will be a wonderful addition to your Christmas decor!
Happy stitching.

How wonderful, Karen...I love it so much!!! Will you hand quilt this one??
Folk art will always be my cup of tea - great job!!!
Folk art quilts are just the best and this nativity quilt is wonderful. Your choice of fabric is awesome - love the bright inner quilt bordered by the darker homespuns. Very, very nice!
This quilt makes me giggle. I mean I knew the stable was primitive and all. Lol!
You have some lovely projects going in your quilty world!! Very yummy applique project. I love the appllique look, but I'm not confident in doing that at all. But after seeing yours, I feel a bit motivated to go back to my applique UFOs, especially the holiday theme ones... Thank you for a beautiful inspirations!!
What a wonderful nativity. I love it!!!!
Very folk art and very cute. The embroidery is a nice touch.

Looking good Karen!!! Reminds me of a project we did with the youth group at our church many moons ago... 8-)
Love it! Folky and fun!

Apparently the back is almost good as new! Hooray! What kind of machine applique do you do? A zigzag or blanket stitch? Matching thread or Invisifil or invisible thread? Inquiring minds want to know . ...
I love the quilt and your fabric choices. Just a curiosity ? Did you fuse the pieces and the machine applique or did you first do the applique by hand?
