So up I was, designing the block and quilt top on EQ 7. Looked in my stash and saw this gorgeous fabric that would be perfect.
But, but, but ......
Any fabric but those! Folk Art Christmas II, that has got to be more than a decade old. I so loved Robyn Pandolph's style when she was with Moda. Oh and that Sturbridge Village Scarlet .... now that's a beauty. I take those out every now and again and pet them!
Seriously, Aren't you NOT suppose to use your stash!!! But ..... but .....
Kathie made me do it! How dare she post the cutest quilt for me to see late at night! I seriously thought about driving to Fibre around midnight to pick a different fabric ... you understand right?
But I didn't ..... And I made the quilt ... using my precious fabric!
Now I need to machine quilt it!
Tomorrow, I'm driving to Fibre and picking up the cutest Santa backing! Won't it look great on the table with Santa's cookies and milk?
Thanks for stopping by! Cheers!

That's adorable! Somehow I missed that on Instagram -- I guess the weekend was too busy and if you don't open Instagram frequently, the older posts fall off your feed. {Sad Pout Here} Your rendition is just toooo cute!
Love it! And...sometimes when the mood strikes, you just hafta do it! What is it with not wanting to use our fabric? I used to think my quilting friends were nuts when they said that, but now I'm the same way!
Ho...ho...ho. It is darling!
THat does look beautiful with the fabrics and it would make a nice table mat. I have some blocks that a friend gave me, just need to sew them together and quilt them, but I am down this week with a bad cold, so not much getting done this week. I may try a hooked mat to go on my firkin, something simple and fun to keep my hands busy.

How funny but something I would do too.
Love it!
What size did it finish at, Carole?
Sometimes it is so hard for me to use my "special fabric, saving it for the right quilt" But. . . there comes a time when I have to tell myself use it or loose it
its adorable and I am so glad you used your special fabric! we need to cut into those and use them Every year now when you pull out this little quilt you will be so thrilled you did use them
LOVE it can't wait to see the santa fabric for the back!
p.s.
the first place I saw this quilt was on fun with barb blog! a few years ago. So many people in blogland has made this little quilt too.
It's adorable and I'm glad you found some time to play. I miss you and hope all is fine.
