I made ten of them, one for each child. I'm putting them in a circle on the quilt with names embroidered on each. But I cannot show you yet! Here's all you get...
It's not sewn together in this photo. It's just stuck to the design wall. I've rearranged it a dozen times! I think I know what I'm doing now. : ) So I squared all the blocks up, which helped to centre some of them a bit better. I use tape on my rulers as a guide now ALWAYS when doing repetitive cutting - ever since accidentally slicing fabric too small too many times.
This is a very busy quilt, but it has a pretty christmas feel to it. I think the kids will love it. Arwen is a bit freaked out. She said, "you mean you are SELLING THIS!!???". She says that about everything I make. Needless to say, she owns more quilts than anyone in this family! lol
back to work...
see ya tomorrow!

I can tell already from the sneak peek, it's going to be AWESOME!
Question from a new quilter:can you explain alittle bit more about the tape on the ruler?
Thanks ahead of time, have fun!
Oh sure - see the green painter's tape on my ruler? It's the last photo in this post... It's set along the line that I need to line up with the edge of my fabric. If it's not there, then I often eventually line it up to the wrong measurement. I use tape so I can pull it off and stick it on again in a new spot next time I'm cutting the same size over and over. PS- this is a case where I'm not using the cutting mat grid to measure. I'm using the plexiglass ruler.
: )
Have got those fabrics yet? Snail mail...
Thanks for the tip Monika, I get it now!
No fabric yet, just makes it better when it does come...thanks so much, your a blessing!
