Blue and White Flimsy

I can hardly believe it but I’m ready this month for Christmas Through the Year.

I’m really looking forward to sharing with everyone else and seeing what elfin’ magic is afoot! Click here to see the elves as they link-up. The whole process of creating for Christmas is so much more enjoyable as opposed to that last-minute business.

Here’s my first piece. It’s being quilted as we share. The outside piecework is flying geese which was fiddly to say the least. I think the entire piece is about 24.5″ but I can’t recall.  The blocks are 4.5″ finished and the flying geese are tiny but I didn’t measure when it was finished. I was kinda d.o.n.e. at that point.

I’m really pleased with the overall effect and feel the border work, together with the quilting, should really make this blue & white lovely gift. I know I’m going to be so excited as the giver. You know, that’s what has been so exciting. The giving is already ready. All the stress is relieved and I can just focus on that – the giving. Oh lordy be, bless the hearts of the folks that are getting gifts from Karen this year. She’s going to be exuberant this go-around.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my first little holiday gift giving post as much I have, thank you to Darlene and Cheryl for hosting and hope you have a delightful day!!!
