I'm stopping .........

.... for tonight, but thought I'd just show you what I've achieved today.  I have always wanted a red and gold quilt for Christmas, so this year I thought I would actually get on with it.  I played around on the computer, and came up with this design.  When I   have done enough blocks, it will have a narrow red border, a wider yellow one with red corner stones and red binding.  I would have liked to make it bed size, but haven't got enough fabric, so it will be a throw. Now I am finishing for tonight, thanks everyone who came and played along with me.  I hope you've enjoyed your day and got lots done.

  2. I think it would be just lovely as a throw. Then you can keep it out to use when you are awake!

    Thanks so much for sponsoring this. I wish there were more participating as I am sure you do. It will catch on.

    I'm not sure of the time the puzzle is over. Between the time difference and when you posted it, I just can't seem to get my head wrapped around it. Anyway, when you wake up in the morning maybe I will have it in your email box!
