I've finished ...........

........... the top I was making during the Christmas Quiltalong day last Saturday.
  I used a jelly roll plus some white tone-on-tone fabric that I already had.





Just out of interest, I thought I'd show you just how much I had left from the jelly roll.  Pheww, that was a bit close wasn't it?

  4. my last comment should have had ~snigger~ at the end of it, but I used <> brackets which blogger obviously doesn't like. Is there an HTML code called snigger I wonder??

  5. SewAli, I think we need a /chuckle/ tag because I thought exactly the same thing.

    Thank goodness she doesn't like lots of scraps leftover from each quilt ... Mrs Flummery and I, on the other hand, think that is one of the best bits of finishing a quilt!

  6. I am agreeing with "sewali"...you have plenty of scraps left to play with!!
    Maybe some matching Christmas stockings or tree skirt.....

  10. It looks fab - very festive. You could use those scaps with a Go feathers die to make an applique wreath or for paper piecing some santas!

  11. Hi Quilt Sue,
    I see the girls ahead of me are giving you a bit of a hard time...I think I would turn those scraps into a pot holder...or pockets on an apron and show them!! Love the quilt- the colours are fabulous and look great on your couch. You could use that quilt year round as there are no holly or bells or Christmas stuff in the print!! Very sweet!!

  14. Wow, Sue! I love that Christmas fabric. That turned out really nice. It's good that you didn't make any cutting mistakes -- you wouldn't have had extra fabric to fix it!

  15. It's beautiful! I love the fabric. Yours is the second Christmas quilt I've seen today, and it makes me want one. That's going on my project list!

  17. Very nice you done a lovely job
    If you buy fabric for a project it nice to know that you don't have much over at least it all gets used without adding to the stash lol
