As some of you know, I'm usually not very excited about the holidays. My son is grown and on his own. The holidays are fun when you have little ones, either your own or your grand children. Heck, my cousins have little ones and I would not be so grumpy if I could spend some time with them and their wonder at everything that makes up this special time of year. Since we are geographically separated, this just isn't possible.
The retail portion of the holidays is just too much for me to handle. The music and lights can't even wait until after Thanksgiving. Drives me nuts. I'm not saying you can't have your holiday music I'm saying I don't want to hear it until the week of the 25th. However.... I did get this wonderful fabric as part of my Fat Quarter Shop charm pack club. I couldn't resist making
something out of this fabric after I saw
Christa making her beautiful quilt along quilt. While I didn't use Christa's pattern, she was part of the inspiration for this quilt and deserves that credit.
The fabric is
In from the Cold by Kate Spain for Moda. I like the fun prints. The coordinating white I got for the background is perfect for this little quilt. Yes, I'm going to break my own rule and hang this one on the wall. Although, I don't know what else I'm to do with a crib-sized quilt made of red, white and green fabrics. I don't have a picture for you today, but the quilt top is done. I'm still trying to decide if I need another border. Then will come the challenge of quilting this small quilt. I'll have to let quilting ideas simmer for at least a couple more days.
