Red and Green on the Housetop!


Okay... With all of you working on the Christmas projects, I had to pull out my red and green scraps. 
All scraps. Large and small went in these blocks. 
Is it going to be ready before Christmas? 
NO.. 
How big? 
I don't know just yet.
All I know is that I will hand quilt this one too!


Because, I like hand quilting and finishing with curved edges.


It will be a present ... 
to me ...
May be next year around this time ...
Or 
the following year.

No rush!

  9. This is fabulous!!! The pale blue highlights give it such a 3 dimensional feel, as though there's a gap in the squares and you can see a garden beyond.

  10. Already I'm wondering if I have enough green scraps - I know I have enough red ones! I'll have to search through the scrap tote - yes, a bag has not been enough for quite some time!
