It is lap size so I will get some nice flannel for the back so it can be used for cuddling.
I have some very lofty goals this year for quilting, one of which is to try to do a Christmas gift item every month. That is the goal that will be left in the dust very soon, I am sure, but it would help me out so much when Christmas comes!
I am skipping step 4 for now because I want to see how those quarter square triangles will be used. before I cut them. It also might be a step that I end up simplifying for the quilt, we will see. I love Bonnie's quilts but they are very hard for me to stay focused on with all their small pieces. I have a bunch started that haven't been finished. Maybe if I simplify this one a little, it will see a finish this year.
Orca Bay is one that is high on my finish list this year.
I also started a Star Wars scrap quilt that I need some white and grey for so it will be a necessary trip for sure.
Also accomplished today, the layout for my daughter's "Ghastlies" quilt. I do not have enough fabric to complete the borders though so that will also be a trip to the fabric store soon. Cutting to commence soon.
Look at all I can accomplish when I have vacation and am home alone. I even did an hour on the elliptical yesterday- none today.
Hope you all are feeling accomplished and doing what you love as the new year approaches. This is the LAST FRIDAY OF 2019!
How nice it must be to have several reasons to head for the quilt store. My stash, although it’s been in downsize mode for 6 months, is still ample enough to keep me busy for a couple years! But I do plan on purchasing necessities as they arise. :-). That was a quick and cute Christmassy too you finished! Do you have Christmas gifts in mind to make every month (like quilts, zip pouches, pillowcases)? A plan will help you stick to it!
