When Kathy issued her Christmas in July Challenge, I said that I would move my Lone Star project forward by quilting the star points this month.

The month is halfway over, and I have completed the challenge.

I used a variegated green, red and white thread to free motion quilt the star.

Since I have completed my goal, and since this challenge is supposed to be for the month, I may just keep going on this project. I may quilt the red inner border.

I may.

But you know how the squirrels are…those masters of distraction.

Wendy posted about a sweet little table topper over at her blog, Pieceful Thoughts.

Turns out that I have all I need to make this topper, including the hexagon ruler, and a shoebox full of fabric squares that were exchanged with guild members (back in the day…like the 90’s to be more specific).

So I did.

Make one, that is.

It is already gifted.

But this is Christmas in July. And I have that loaded shoebox.

So I have already cut out enough hexagons for 7 (seven more) Christmas gifts (and barely made a dent in that box)!

I may spend the rest of July cutting out background pieces.

Thank you, Kathy and Wendy!

Really…I mean it!

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

Quilt On!
