my Christmas Supernova is finished! 🎄🎅🏻

Oh my goodness! I finished my Christmas Supernova wallhanging and I absolutely LOVE it! You might remember last month I told you that I was filing away all the diagrams and notes from my Supernova quilt when I found the original hand-drawn sketch with a note on the bottom about using Christmas fabrics.

I was very excited to make it in Christmas fabrics so I did. I missed out all the extra stars around the big star - just did the big star on its own.

Here's the finished hanging.

For the back, I didn't have enough of the Christmas print so filled it in with a red stripe. It's the back so won't be seen when it's hanging on the wall.

And my quilt label which I machine-embroidered on to a scrap I had leftover from the star parts in the hanging.

I have put this away until Christmas time - although I did wonder if I should just find a space and hang it up now. I mean, 6 months early isn't too early is it?

Here's the details of what's in it:
