Christmas Quilt Along - Post #1

Hello Everyone,

It is Christmas Quilt Along day! One of my favorite days of the month. This month, Sue is leading the group.  Thank you Sue!


This morning I started working on all 53 little pieces for this 8-1/2" block.  If nothing else, I have to concentrate on accuracy which isn't easy to do early in the morning!  Coffee, where's my coffee?


The block is done.....and not too bad.


Eight blocks down....twelve more to go.  I'll also make some more sashings and nine patch posts today.  I love the country look and feel of this quilt.....very homey.    Even though I only work on this quilt one day a month during the QAL, it is coming together slowly but surely.  By Christmastime, I will be so glad that I started this in February.


Check back later for more Christmas show and tell.

As always,

Lynn
