In a change from the usual quilts I make for Project Linus, I was asked if I could complete an Advent Calendar panel for one of the children’s charities.
There were minimal instructions with the panel and while they made sense for the horizontal rows of pockets, they didn’t make sense for the pre printed vertical rows of pockets, so I ended up making and lining each pocket individually. This did have the added advantage that I could put the pockets in a random order, though I was limited by pocket colour.
I added an extra border to the panel and backed it with royal blue fleece. Quilting was minimal – just a free motion meander around the snowflakes in the border and outlining the sleigh and reindeers. I added a handing sleeve to the back and used an extendable rod for net/voile curtains to allow it to be hung from hooks.
