Looking for suggestions - Christmas stocking
Hi all,
I haven't been on in a long time and I have a problem. Christmas is coming and I have a new grandchild. Four years ago I posted a thread entitled My Original Stockings for the new family. I'm working too much and have not been able to find the "centerpiece" for a new stocking for little Simon. Does anyone have an idea - a little mini masterpiece - for the new guy? I don't do applique. Just piecing. I know this is the last one for this family and I don't want to just toss it off. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Paper piecing is in my book of tricks. That feathered star measured 5" square and anything bigger won't work. Help!

MSQC has a stocking pattern. It was in the Christmas 2014 Block. It doesn't look like it would take too much time Then you will be covered this year and continue to work on the keepsake one. The knitted one is gorgeous so keep working on that one too

If you don't mind paper piecing here are links to a few sites with free small patterns. Right now Quilters Newsletter has free (but not for long) PP Christmas Surprise, most of the blocks are 3-4". Make sure you show us what you decide! Good luck!

This is a two tone star that is 6 inch PP. Maybe you could reduce the size?
