Yesterday I discovered that Amy at Amy's Creative Side had a challenge going on to complete something in the past week. Although I was late to the party, I did challenge myself to finish my 12 Days of Christmas Mini Quilt (just the top) at the beginning of the week - and I made it! So I am linking up.

So what do you think? Very 1930's repro fabric. :) The only thing I don't like about it is that my 2 predominantly red blocks ended up next to each other. I guess that is the risk with a Mystery Quilt! But it makes me smile. Maybe it will be a doll quilt someday. But for now I am going to hang it on my bedroom wall once it is quilted.
The colors are a little bit washed out from the flash, but I think you can see it pretty well. If you click on any of the pictures, you can see a larger version of it and see the detail better.
My other big project is the weekly blocks for the
Sew Happy Quilt Along. I am doing 2 sets - one in children's prints
and one with a few FQ from my 'stash'.
The children's quilt will be donated somewhere.
Week 1:
| The 2 yellow 'buggy' prints and green fish print are from a giveaway I won! So cute. |
I actually didn't notice the two red blocks together until I read your comment. I think it's funny how we (as quilters) have a definite idea of what it should look like and our eyes go directly to what we don't like - while everyone else just thinks it looks lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteThe 12 days of Christmas mini is so dear. Great selection of blocks and double red doesn't bother me at all. Great finish in only a week!!
ReplyDeleteThat is really lovely. I love those vintage repro fabrics and you did such an excellent job on it. Maybe one of these days I will go really tiny, too!
