It's in the Details

The design for the Christmas Macnas Quilt is very predictable and basic, but that doesn't have to mean boring. I have done some things to make it a little bit special. To wit: 

Notice how the evergreen trees all point UP, the arches on the red blocks point UP, at the cats with the little red caps are also right side up.

The letters in the light fabric are all right side up...

And all the cars going "over the river and through the woods" are facing in the same direction. This isn't a big deal, but your eye notices these subtleties. 

Of course, you don't want to do this. (Sigh.)

Here, the top eight rows are all pieced together into one panel. In the lower left quadrant, the pieces are all sewn together in rows.
