Hi -
I'm a little late pulling this together, but here is my entry for Amy's Fall Quilt Festival.
Whooville is a quilt that I finished earlier this year. It is one of my selvage quilt projects inspired by Karen Griska. I used the selvage dots this time to represent Christmas lights on the houses.
My favorite part of the quilt is the big tree, I wish I had Whoos singing around it!

Enjoy the rest of the festival!
