Design Border Monday

It seems like this one has been up on the wall forever, but I'm so close to having it done, I can taste it!

 Yes, I munch on Oyster Crackers while I'm sewing sometimes. What of it?

 Quilting done!

Binding is halfway done. I meant to sew it on to the back first, but then I forgot I guess and did it this way.  Oh well. 

Doing Stuff

In an effort to do something mindlessly creative, I decided to follow my first quilt pattern, and use a roll of Crazy 8's (thanks Mom!) to make this quilt.  I'm not sure what I'll do with it, but I like the way it's coming out.  It's a cute Christmasy line, which is perfect for the coming season.  I think I'll call the quilt "Awesome Christmas".

Everything all cut out.

Squares sewn, then sewn in sets of 3. That's as far as I got last night, but I'm hoping to finish the top tonight. Maybe I'll run out and find some Christmasy flannel to use for the backing on my way home...maybe I'll use that as a reward if I go work out tonight.  :-)  Gotta start somewhere.
