Christmas in February

 I have my 3 additional blocks made for my Christmas quilt. I stayed off the phone and got them all right this time!! lol
Here's the setting I am using. I figure if I can piece 3 blocks a month for 7 months, then work on the setting, I should be able to get it finished by Christmas 2013. That's the plan anyway. This should be great to highlight some wonderful quilting.

My son made it Denmark and the quilt is in Lene's hands. That's all I know. Yay, for the power of the quilt!!!

    I do like your "x blocks a month" plan. I'm using it to make progress on some of my stalled out projects. Little bites make the work more palatable!
    Happy blocks!

    This is going to be stunning, as all of your quilts are! I like the repetition of this block design and of course the colors are right up my alley.

    I am loving your Christmas quilt enough to be inspired to start one of my own. But, self control is winning out (for now) and I'll just quilt vicariously along with you.

    Sending her the quilt was such a sweet, considerate thing to do. I'm sure she'll feel better when she wraps up in it. And this is going to be a really nice Christmas quilt!

    I think once I get moved I will start doing quilts in my self designed BOM's...I really want a red and white quilt but would be boring to just sit and try and stitch it all at once.
