Tigercatindia A Joyful Baltimore Christmas - These are small Baltimore Album style blocks appliqued using back-basting techniques. The border treatment is of my design using a swag pattern from a book (have no idea which one) and enlarging elements of Connie Sue Haidle's patterns. Feathers, channel stitching, cross-hatching, outline, and echo quilting comprise the quilting scheme. Over 356 yards of Sulky 12-weight thread is hand-quilted into the top. It took most of 2009 to applique and half of 2010 to hand-quilt.
