I hope I have the blocks in their right and final places! I keep moving them and moving them…yikes! I will be piecing the border as well so that will give me a chance to use up more of these fabrics.

Snow Day!
We were supposed to start classes at my college today, but we had a nasty wintry mix and the college was closed. Boy was I glad not to have to drive in that mess!
I worked on laying out my blended quilt today. I keep changing blocks around and at this point my eyes are bleary from looking at it so long. I think it is time to walk away from it for a while.

Design Wall Monday
I am still working on the blended Christmas quilt. I am sewing some more star blocks together today.
Here are some of the red blocks.
Here are some of the green blocks.
Have a nice day.

Design Wall Monday
I got a lot of cutting done last Friday and started to put some blocks together. I have never done a “blended” quilt before so I am struggling a bit in terms of how much contrast you should have in each block.
I have sewn some of the blocks together, but have a ways to go yet. The blocks are not in their final location on the quilt yet.

Cutting Board Friday
I decided to start working on a new quilt. It is a Christmas “blended” wall quilt. I have collected the fabrics for a few years for this quilt and it is time to start using fabrics up from my stash!! The fabrics for this quilt are reds, greens and tans.
Boy do I love my new Creative Grid rulers. I bought some new cutting rulers last year and have not really used them too much until today. LOVE THEM! I have to take lots of breaks when I rotary cut these days due to shoulder, neck and back aches and pains.
Hard to believe Christmas is over already. My daughter is going back to MIT this weekend to start her last semester as an undergraduate. That is another thing that is hard to believe…how can she be finishing college already?
