I finally finish cutting out all the pieces for my Christmas quilt. It's at my machine and ready to go. There are 288 red 3 1/2" squares, over 576 green 2" squares, 312 sashing 2" x 6 1/2" rectangles and 1152 white 2" squares! Enough to make a king size quilt, minus the borders.
I couldn't have planned it any better. All the white pieces are cut and all I have left are these two smaller leftover pieces. Nothing like cutting it close....lol.
Tomorrow I have the day off, so I have to get the studio back in order. I have the ladies coming this weekend to sew. I feel like lately all I've been doing is making messes and cleaning up....lol. After I get the place in order, I am hoping to start working on the Christmas quilt. I have a bunch of stitch and flip corners to do on the red squares and then the green four patches. I am looking forward to working on this one, beings as we are in December in the Christmas season.
Do any of you do that? Quilt with the seasons? I've got my Welcome to the North Pole appliqué block out for this season, along with this Christmas quilt. Even my daughter is embroidering with the season, with her pattern called Snow Days.
Here is a picture showing how far she has come along on her embroidery stitching. The stitches are done using a dark charcoal colour.
Take care everyone.
