Friday night sew-in.

I didn't get as much finished as I'd hoped. Guess my ideas were bigger than my skills, time or whatever!! Anyway, I'm well on my way. The squares were made last year so I started with the 4-patches last night. This was a first layout with 6.5" cream borders but I felt that was too wide.
I like the 4.5" better. The cream border is sewn but the 2 rows of mixed and the outer cream is just laying there!!! The strips are mostly sewn together BUT that's all I have. So, back to sewing more strips together to cut up.




Destination??? Undecided!
I'm happy to have gotten this far. Now I don't have to keep running into the orphan blocks all the time. Thanks Heidi for giving me the push.

I love your squares. I've been contemplating a sampler quilt. It will be my first. Yours is very pretty!

Oh, I love it!!!! There is nothing quite like a sampler and to see it done in the Christmas colors is just lovely.

No, it wasn't hard to take the pieced border off. It just bugged me every time I looked at it. I loked the solid so much better. The nativity was done on a pinwale. Thanks for always visiting my blog.
