I did get four tops finished in September, so the tally for this year so far is 12 projects finished to the quilting stage. I'm going to have to tackle a lot of computer work in the next month, and there won't be a lot of sewing time so I'm glad I got so much done. It helped that I had my dates wrong when I decided to try and finish this little top; I thought it was the 30th when I started sewing the blocks together, but it was actually the 29th. So it was easy to get them all done because I had 24 more hours than I thought. It's not often I get a gift of an extra day....
This was going to be Bonnie's Sisters Nine Patch, from her Leaders and Enders book, but I only had this much of the yellow fabric. I still have 160 nine-patches that I've been sewing for the last year; I can't believe I started them in August last year, but I blogged about it so I know it's right. They will become a full size quilt like Bonnie's and this is going to be a little Christmas quilt.
This little red and white print is so cute, I'm glad Mereth suggested it for the setting triangles; it makes the quilt feel playful and happy, and that's a good thing for a Christmas quilt.
I'm never going to get anywhere with my UFO list. These blocks were listed as #20, Sisters Nine-patch. I had to add it to the list as #21, Christmas Nine-patch, so I could cross it off. I still have 20 items on the UFO list, but at least I'm not going backwards.
I love the green borders! I wouldn't have thought to pull in green.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so adorable! Sometimes those memory lapses work in our favor--lol! I could have used an extra day too.
ReplyDeleteStill amazed at how much you achieve!
