12 Days of Christmas top finished

Yay, I just got this top finished and am pretty happy with it.  I looked and looked for an outside border with a brighter red but wasn't happy with anything I saw so I ended up with the border fabric that Little Quilts used in their finishing kits last year.  My sashing is a bit wider than theirs and I added red cornerstones but overall it is the same as their 2010 BOM.  Thanks to Wanda Hizer for designing this quilt and for the staff at Little Quilts in Marietta, GA for the wonderful fabric selection.  Now if I can just get it quilted before the holidays!

Christmas in August

 Even though it is only August, I am determined to complete this quilt before Christmas.  This 12 Days of Christmas quilt was last year's BOM from a local quilt shop "Little Quilts" in Marietta, GA.  It was designed exclusively for the shop by Wanda Hizer, an applique artist who works and teaches there and I believe there are still kits available.

Each block represents a separate day and the fabric selection is beautiful as you can see.

I am actually currently working on the last block so this is just a preview of the whole quilt. 

My husband just got home from Charleston where the hurricane was pretty much a non event but my thoughts and prayers are with everyone else who is being affected by the storm.
