Well I didn't get everything done.
Even my finish up post is late so
it will be rolled into the December goal!!
I did accomplish a bit.
We had a lovely time in the far
south, soaking up sunshine, family
love and good food.
Fought off some brutal head colds,
and held some alligators too!
We returned home to blowing
snow, sub zero temperature and
a neighborhood with dazzling lights!
Here is what I accomplished!
I made a lovely stack of 10" half hexies.
Then I pulled out all the black solids I could find.
Cut as much as possible into 1 1/2" strips,
suddenly, I had a bunch of braids together!
I had to adjust for a slight waffle but they came
together very nicely.
I even sent the future recipient a little teaser!
I do love the excitement of the season!
All the fabrics used have some lovely
shiny elements, so it does dazzle!
Here is the end result, binding was
completed December 1st .
This black, plaid edge really makes
the sashing pop.
This quilt is off to live with its new admirer in Michigan!
It sports a double 80/20 batting so my SIL should
be toasty warm all winter long!
The three big string stars came
back from the shop so those will
get stitched up just in time for
St. Nic to deliver them!
Enjoy the fun of December
Look what happens when an engineer
takes charge of the Christmas cookies!
