Christmas in July Challenge Update

Christmas Lone Star

Last week, I completed the free motion quilting in the diamonds of the Christmas Lone Star.

This week, I free motion quilted a simple up and down line design in the red sashing.

You can see the texture on the back of the quilt.

I have to admit, it does feel nice to be moving this old UFO forward.

Christmas in July has also motivated me to work on gifts.

Hexagon Table Topper

I have seven hexagon table toppers (or placemats, if you like) sewn together. I talked about this pattern in my previous post.

I am feeling pretty smart finally using up some very old fabric to make these cute toppers.

In keeping with the use-it-up theme, my next goal is to pull some scrap batting out of a large overflowing tub and piece some frankenbatts for these. If I have time, I will find some backings, too.

MOD Bear Paw QAL Finished

Back in October 2016, Lorna, at Sew Fresh Quilts, designed and hosted the MOD Bear Paw QAL.  I fell in love with her quilt, and had to have it, so I joined in the fun.

I am happy to say that I have finally finished the quilt!

Here it is after finishing the quilting:
