Its beginning to look alot like christmas

Well here's what I managed to get done today.  Not much... but its progress.  The idea came from this tutorial and then I expanded with some little scraps.  Hoping they will work yesterdays ornament blocks. 

I'm thinking that some applique in these should work nicely.  Maybe by mimicking the shapes in the fabric... I see doves, snowflakes, Christmas trees and lights, stars...we'll see tomorrow!

 Plenty of room here also.  Each block has a 4.5 center.

And the best part of day is mail!  I won fabric over here at Fabric Seeds.  Thanks Sarah for the lovely Charm pack.  Now I'm gonna have to order more over here at her store Fabric Seeds.  Her prices are great and she has a wonderful variety.  I know where my Christmas money will be spent! 

Until next time "Quilt out of your Comfort Zone!"

Ornament block

A few months ago I remember seeing  something similar to this block, but where?  I tired of searching and decided to draft my own.   Using scraps from Joy by Moda and Kona Snow White.  At first I thought I could just cut out my own charms then creativity hit me and began experimenting  with fussy cutting and using leftover strings of fabric.  A wall hanging, tree skirt or a table runner....decisions, decisions. 

The scraps for the ornament blocks came from this quilt that was started months ago.  The orignal plan was to do some applique, plans changed today!  I just put the two borders on today, Lots of white space for detailed quilting on this one!  Will it be done by Christmas....oh probably not.  At least it's now made it to the flimsy status and can go in the box with the others. 

Until next time  "Quilt out of your Comfort Zone!"
