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.
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.
I am linking up with Kathy over here. You might want to visit, and be encouraged to get your Christmas projects moving!
Quilt On!
