I've made thirty of my Blue Chains block, so I'm ready to set that together, but I've allowed myself to be sidetracked.
.
I've been making red and cream HST for a Split Nine Patch for most of this year, and this little box had over 400 stacked inside, (which should be more than enough I hope!)
Bonnie showed a picture of a red and green top on one of her posts and I thought it would make a lovely Christmas quilt.
Jo from Jo's Country Junction is having a UFO challenge to finish a project before Bonnie's new mystery comes out. I don't know whether it's supposed to be a Bonnie pattern, but this seems as good a time as any to move this to the front of the queue.
Out came the green scraps, light, medium and dark, and I've been cutting bricks and squares, enough to make 100 blocks to start with.
Having the HST already made means this is flying along, I've made 50 blocks already and I'm beginning to wonder if I need to go back to the red scraps as well. I do love cutting out fabric, especially when I can use up so many scraps in one pattern.
But in some ways it's quite annoying that I can say "No yardage was harmed in the making of this quilt".....When am I ever going to get to cut into the real stash?

Oh, I like this...
I like this setting very much, very nice Christmas like colors quilt. I still haven't finished a small leader and ender project I started last year...now maybe I will get back to it!
