Wrap it up!

 Hello everyone,

Wow, it's already the end of December, and I had to chill out from preparing my planner for 2024. There is much I've already done; at least six new patterns are in bins, but I need to purchase fabric for all of them at once. My big problem is that for every top I'm making, there needs to be a tone-on-tone background, and for every single quilt, I've to purchase it. The larger the quilt, the more fabric is required. So, like everyone, I shopped for sales and clearance. Still, the material is costly.

Christmas Tree

For this Christmas Tree quilt, I used the same bundle of fabric I used for the Evergreen Tree project. This quilt isn't going to be done by Christmas, but it is certainly before the end of February. 

 

Cutie Frame 

Sewing, backing, binding, and sandwiching four good-sized tops took hours. Now that I've practiced on two quilt tops and simple wavy-loopy lines, I wonder if I could quilt a repeated design.
