| I tried the blanket stitch for his nose but didn't work out so well so started over and fused it on. I also tried knitting him a tiny scarf but my yarn was that boucle and it was so bulky even with only 3 stitches that I ended up just pinking a piece of the border fabric for his scarf and I'm happy with how he turned out. |

| I used the pillow case method to finish the edges (refer to the zig zag table runner on the Missouri Star Quilt Co. for a wonderful tutorial on the pillow case method). I like the pillow case method for irregular shapes or scalloped borders because it lays nicely and it's quicker (no need to make binding). I free motion quilted a cute design but the fabrics are so busy it barely shows up so I'll show you the back. |

| The holly leaves and berries turned out pretty good after a rough start and having to pick a leaf and berries stitches. (I get in a hurry and don't want to practice first.) |

| I saw this Christmas tree design on the Ivory Spring blog. She has a lot of good tutorials for free motion quilting. |
