Tole Christmas by Denice Kitchen, quilted by Emmy Evans

As you can see, this is a tessellation quilt, wherein the negative space defines upside-down trees. Denice Kitchen says, "Two friends from my quilt group made this quilt and there was fabric leftover for a third! I was the lucky recipient.  After decades of piecing quilts, this is my very first Christmas quilt and I can't wait to display it this season." Emmy Evans' beautiful machine quilting makes this quilt extra special.
