I am working on my first chevron quilt. The fabric was hard to place. I started with dark aqua, then got lighter, then added brown, then more brown - well, you can see where this is going. (I end with dark brown) The other fabric is white on white and makes the brown and aqua pop. When the top is done, I will post a photo.

I'm working on a rag quilt that my daughter asked for. Definitely not my favorite thing to do, but I'm happy to make it for her! When she was home for Thanksgiving we went shopping to pick out the fabric. She needs it for watching her kids soccer which will start in February. She chose the colors for their soccer club. I cut it out at home and brought it along to work on in our motorhome while we are in Texas for three months. This time doing one row at a time and cutting the fringe part as I add each row, rather than waiting until it's all together and then doing all the cutting. Hoping it won't hurt my hand as much as the last one I did. So far, so good, also got the Fons and Porter rag scissors and really like them. (Joanns with a coupon, even better)

Now that the holidays are over, I am back to make lap quilts for charity. Hancock had fabrics 40-50% off plus an additional 20% off coupon ... so I purchased enough fabrics in Dec. to make 4 lap/wheelchair quilts to start off the new year.

Sounds like everyone is busily getting lots done!
I found some awesome flannel at Tuesay Morning right after Christmas. So got another piece at Hancocks to coordinate with and now I'm working on Judy's 7th Mystery Train Quilt for my oldest DS. Making it bigger since he wants it for his bed instead of a lap quilt. About half done so far.
