Block of the Month, Christmas Quilt

Sawtooth Star

Our Guild is having a Block of the Month Quilt Along.  The blocks have been chose from the book, Around The Block by Judy Hopkins.  If you would like to join in, by all means, buy the book and jump in.

The first block was the Ohio Star.  I decided to do mine in Christmas fabric.  I have quite a bit of Christmas scraps.  I use to buy scrap bags from a local quilt shop, Ivy Thimble.  Sometimes there would be a few Christmas fabric scraps.  So I acquired quite a few after a while.

The second block was the Sawtooth Star.  The third is the Simplex Star.  The BOM started in December- not too late to catch up.  Next one I will post in March.

Scrapitude Finish

Scrapitude Finish.  Wahoo!  Totally excited to have this beautiful, wonderful scrappy quilt finished.  I started it when our guild had a Mystery Quilt Challenge.  All scrappy.  Very scrappy.  We began in September.  I finished quilting it in March.  I think that is a record for me.  I am very happy with how it turned out.  I really wanted borders but I just couldn't find something that spoke to me so I did it as is.

Its pretty big.  It actually fits on my king size bed but it does hang over the sides.
