12/8/20: Well, almost done with the first December quilt (still have another one I want to make this month). I have the quilt top and the binding finished but don't have the backing made. I'm debating whether to use fabric I have that doesn't really go with the Christmas cowboy boots/hats or whether I want to wait for a couple of days and buy fabric that will go better with it. I could use a red fabric but then the quilting thread will show. But still might do that. I do have a marbled red that would work. I'll think about it for a day or so.
The story on this quilt is as follows: I fell in love with the fabric and made a Garden Lattice quilt in July using it. Well, sadly, the fabric got lost in the quilt pattern and you couldn't see how outstanding the fabric really is. I was disappointed but it was done. I had 62" left of the fabric and decided I would make a "modern" quilt that would showcase the fabric. Initially I had the center section made up of rectangles but that made it look bad because the sashing was off from the sashing of the 2 side pieces. So, I ripped that out and made the flying geese instead. I do like it although DH says it doesn't look like a real quilt--we both think of quilts as those that use the traditional blocks!
This quilt measures 57x68. Finished (except for backing) 12/10/2020.
