This is to document my love of and obsession with fabric and quilts! The true, guilty story of buying "just a little bit more", of shopping at thrift stores for the extra large mens shirts to use in your next quilt..and yes..even eyeing up your best friends blouse wondering if she'd notice if you "borrowed" it and just how many 2 inch strips you could get out of it!

Day 2 of the Christmas Quiltalong
Nothing Christmasy done yesterday...unless you count the HOURS of thinking about the quiltalong challenge!! I have not yet stumbled across the project I want to do. That's okay..I still have today to mull it over while working on other things!
I got these two little quilts done yesterday for Operation Kid Comfort (just have to sew the binding on tonight). Gosh, I LOVE finishes!!! I need more of them in my life!!
Remember the pink flying geese units my friend Judy gave to me that were leftovers for a quilt that she was making for a customer? Well, I used up an entire charm pack and got those blocks made:
That's not the final layout..I was just playing around with them. To sash or not to sash..what do you think? I am kind of liking it without the sashing. Hmmmmm.....
Those pink flying geese STILL were not done, though. I still had a pile left! There were these squares in with the flying geese:
So, I started working those up and now have 6 of these done and lots of units left to make more:
As a bonus, I now have a box of these pinwheels from the dog ears I cut off the flying geese!!
LOL...this was the gift that kept giving!! At this point, I will have 3 quilts made from the flying geese Judy gifted me. I do have to say, I am starting to hate these things!!! lolol
Other than some Christmasy, I refuse to work on anything else until I have these things used up and GONE! lolol Okay...well, maybe I might QUILT something else, but I am not starting anything else!!!

Surely there is some Christmassy number that you can come up with which incorporates pink pinwheels?? Although I can't think of anything right at the mo!
ReplyDeleteHurrah for Judy - that was a fabulous present!
Love the little quilts. Yes, a finish is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI had the same thought as Hazel, but no idea of what you might do with them.

Wow! hopefully by now you've used up all the flying geese and the extra pinwheels. Good luck. I really like that black and pink fabric. Very nice together.
