I knew that my Mom would LOVE a Christmas Tree Quilt - but I was mean and made her wait till Christmas!
She got into bowling a few years ago - and found out she really likes it! and she even got my Dad playing... as long as he doesn't score better than her!
So I searched and searched and searched for bowling fabrics and finally found some that I really liked ( Thank you SpoonFlower designers) and ta da!
These are cell phone photos - so look close - but aren't those fun?
She even picked out a few as her favorites
and I used the rest of the fabrics for a strippy background - so its really a two sided quilt
Sooooo does that count as two gifts??? ha ha!

What fun! That was a great gift and I love using extra fabrics on the back.
I can tell she was pretty happy with her new quilt:)
How fun and original!
Oh my goodness! Bowling fabrics!!! Now I have to put those on my bucket wish list as well. Beautifully done. I can tell she loved it! Wishing you a creative and productive 2019.
I love my quilt and even more my lovely thoughtful daughter who made it for me
What a fun quilt. I don't think I've ever seen bowling fabrics.
That is SEW creative!! Who would thing to use something other than Christmas fabric for a Christmas tree? I mean, colors like the boys' quilts, sure. But, bowling?!?! LOVE!
Oh, wow! That turned out so cool, and it's so exciting to know someone else who uses Spoonflower fabric!!!
I LOVE that you were able to incorporate your mom's hobby, and I love that it isn't strongly Christmas colours so it can be used more of the year. Thanks for linking up with TGIFF!
A very fun Christmas gift! It turned out beautifully. I gifted my quilting sister some fun fabrics with a gingerbread theme from Spoonflower. They have some one of a kind themes and patterns. Congrats on a one of a kind quilt.
What a fun tree quilt, I love that it is two sided.
I love the smile on her face and the quilt. What a fun way to personalize her quilt! She'll be the envy of all of her teammates!
