You can replace the traditional Christmas tree by hanging this wall hanging each year. A simple half an inch grid has been used to quilt the background before the tree and applique has been added. You can use different decorative stitches to quilt if you wish to change the background design. You can hang the quilt as another addition to your Christmas decorations that can be displayed with pride each year.
You may even wish to replace your traditional tree with this large wall hanging. Christmas presents can then be displayed proudly underneath the wall hanging – CHRISTMAS WHIMSICAL STARRY TREE quilt.
The wall hanging is quilted first then decorated using applique, padded applique, decorative stitches. Ribbon, ric rac, bows, and rhinestones, are added to the presents under the tree.
