Judy said to press to the dark side. With both being mediums it probably doesn't matter. Lynnie, I love the Christmas ones too. If you have the fabric and the time you should do both. You can always lay it on the back of the couch during the holidays. or make a table cloth out of it.

I also had a lot of Christmas fabric I bought at the thrift store. I figured it would make a great Christmas gift. I always need an extra gift for that last minute christmas party we get invited to.

Just love the way the Christmas colors look together.

Christmas colors are beautiful together. I love the beautiful fall colors together also.

My large florals (border 2 and Border 3); I was planning to use as boarders to enlarge the quilt after the basic mystery was put together. Do you think the other fabric will work, or should I re-think my project with totally different fabric? By the way, would batiks work for this mystery?

How can it possibly be only Tuesday? Why does Saturday come after Friday?
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Saturday sounds better. I think I skipped lunch.

Sunlit smiles, I agree with you. what's wrong with this calendar of our. Saturday should be tomorrow. I can't wait. I feel like a little kid waiting for Santa to come. Will the day ever come???
I didn't skip lunch, so what's my problem. why can't I wait???
