Sparkle - A Christmas Sew Along - The Quilt

Now that you've got your Sparkle quilt all complete it's time for machine quilting  and attaching the binding.

I've had so much fun making this quilt I hope you have too!

When it came time to machine quilt my quilt I decided to go with an all over, edge-to-edge pattern. I want this quilt to be used and loved in my home each Christmas so something all over will be perfect!

I used my new Urban Argyle pantograph pattern. I wanted to keep this quilt feeling crisp and modern.

I really love the way it tuned out. I layed it on my bed to take some pictures and I think I fell in love all over again! Is it a bad thing to have a Chrsitmas quilt in your bedroom?

Here is the full finished quilt, I generally don't make very many scrappy quilts but this one is just perfect with the scrappy prints! I love it and I really hope this is a quilt that can be loved for years to come.

Thank you all for sewing along with me. I've had so much fun, I have ideas to do another sew-along in the spring! I'll share details later. 

If you're just joining along today, no worries! You can still make this adorable Sparkle quilt!

Since Christmas is such a busy time of year and I know it's hard to find time to sew for ourselves, I thought it would be fun to continue this sew-along through the year. Below I have sketched the quilt in a few different color-ways. I hope you find inspiration in them.
