I was finally able to make some progress on my floral quilt. Here is the result of sewing since I got my machine back on Friday - 12 new star blocks! I now have 22 made. The original pattern calls for just 17 and I am going to end up with 29, so I will have to reconfigure to make my quilt larger, but it should all work out perfectly, assuming there are no more stinker blocks.
Check in with Nicole, Perry and Cindy. to see how their quilts are coming along. It may have been a little nuts to start a challenge project during this busy time of year, but it appears like these gals have met the challenge head on!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. I'm really looking forward to seeing my family and having a nice celebration. The kids are bouncing off the walls waiting for Santa. I hope they like what he did for them this year. Merry Christmas everyone!
Your progress is amazing! I like the use of directional fabric in the lower right corner.
ReplyDeleteI really love this. I have these blocks I made - I thought I was making mud with them - but now I'm learning they're blended. I'll have to show you sometime.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time during the holiday to post.
Merry Christmas.
Beautiful, beautiful! A very Merry Christmas to you and your family! ENJOY!
