I participated in a Saturday Sampler at American Quilting that ended last June. It was a block of the month quilt, and although it was quite challenging, I really enjoyed making it. I stayed somewhat caught up, and last summer before we moved out of our house, I actually finished up all the blocks except for the embroidery on the snowmen's faces. That silly block has traveled around in my quilting bag with me ever since. I sewed with Alisa today and decided to work on it again. I got the black sashing sewn between all the blocks, then tonight I finished the embroidery on the snowmen while watching American Idol. After I finished that, I hurried and put the borders on and voila! The top is done. Now I just need to decide whether to hand quilt it or take it to someone for machine quilting...and then move on and finish the three other quilts that are in the same stage of completion---blocks pieced but not sewn together. It's easy for me to get to that point. Finishing is the hard part...

Alice, that quilt is so cute! I love it!
I really like this quilt... even in May! Maybe I really will go over to broadbents tomorrow and buy some material... I don't know. Things I make don't turn out half as cute.
That quilt is really cute. It will look great over the back of your couch! I'm impressed at how quickly you got it all done. As you saw I was going nowhere fast! I ended up putting everything away after finishing that one mediocre block. Way to complete things!!
Wow, good job!!
That quilt is awesome! Great job! I am thinking about doing a quilt in little blocks like you have at the bottom of yours. Did you put them on their randomly while you were sewing, or did you lay them out before and decide which pieces went where? I have about 10 different fabrics and I don't know where to start. Help!
