Yeah, this is what I was planning to cut into for my Vintage Holiday quilt along. We're on the third week of the quilt along and neatly stacked fabric and unopened pattern was all I had to show for.
I was quite tempted to just put it aside and "get to it later", which as we all know, might never come. I'm happy to say that no putting aside happened, I cut, and sewed, and pressed instead, and I ended up with these six blocks. I'm actually all caught up with the quilt along schedule, yay!
You've probably noticed that I did not use many of the fabrics I had in my stack. I completely eliminated yellow and replaced some of the blues and greens. You see, the way I always work is I cut my fabric as I go. This way, I decide on the fabric one block at a time. It's more time consuming and messy, for sure, but I'm able to come up with more cohesive blocks this way. At least I hope so.
I do like the way this festive quilt is turning out and hope to make some more blocks soon. Maybe even keeping up with the quilt along? That would be nice.
Thanks for stopping by. Svetlana
So gorgeous :) I love how yours is turning out!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are pretty! Yay for quilt alongs!
ReplyDeleteVery very nice, and I think it's good that you removed the yellows. Wouldn't seem quite like Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI love what you're doing with these, Svetlana! I have to make mine as I go along too, and I agree -- definitely messier but worth it. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's going to look great when it's all done, love the Christmas + aqua colours
ReplyDeleteVery cute so far! Good for you, getting a jump start on Christmas! I have a partially done Christmas quilt that I have worked on for 2 years, but never finished in time....this may be the year!
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful! I love the way you're using different fabrics too. That's how I started my farmer's wife blocks. I love how each block is different and reflects a different mood than the last. I'm looking forward to hopefully joining in on this QAL next week. Love your blocks!!
ReplyDeleteyou sound like me... i usually cut as i go and it makes a huge mess!
ReplyDeleteoh darling blocks - I love the colors as you've decided to use them!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I work the same way...edit as I go along. I like that I don't feel compelled to use the fabric I first pulled out. This will be a great Christmas quilt!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blocks!! I do the same thing, that way I can change my mind as I go along :)
