I love that robot fabric! I'm not starting any Christmas quilting yet, but I am knitting dishcloths. I've got some summer birthday quilts to make first.

Sounds like me!! I'll start thinking about it the 2nd week of Dec. My group is 7, so still manageable. I used to do different things for each one. Now they all get the same thing...just different fabric!

I'm making everyone a denim mock cathedral window quilt for Christmas. Have 12 to give to - have 9 completed. The 10th needs 10 more hours of work. The circles for numbers 11 and 12 are cut. I think I might make the deadline!

in November i started next year. I did pilows that say 'Jingle bells" with bells all around the edges. My cousin just told me she is pregnant so I'm making things for that. For my other cousin, i never see a washcloth, just to know i'm thinking of him, and stocking for his 2 new cats. My cousin that's pregnant wants a 60" tree skirt, in dark blue with silver and gold to match her tree. I have everything for it, just need to get moving on it. May make potholders too for everyone.

I have a UFP lap quilt that is Christmas themed. I plan to finish it this month and give it to someone for Christmas. Not sure who yet. That is about all the planning I have done.

I am making 10 Christmas quilts for my grandkids this year. I am working on the final top. Next I will be quilting them. I made them all approx. 52x60 so I have bought 20 yards of red Minky from Amazon for all the backs. The quilts are all different. My biggest problem is who will get which one.

I've got a throw in the works for my 7-yr old nephew, and I started two tablerunners for my MIL and GMIL, that I need to get back to (I was concentrating on summer birthday quilts!).

I guess I must be subconsciously thinking about Christmas. Yesterday I picked out an almost vintage John Deere Santa Claus pillow panel and coordinating John Deere Christmas fabric from my stash for a pillow. I will start on it in a few days.

I am making a wall hanging of 4" blocks with Christmas Motifs; 1 large Christmas Tree, 1 small C. Tree, an icicle block and a Snowman. Would really like it to be 8 blocks, but will finish this one, and if time, make 4 more blocks and attach them. Hope to have them in the quilt shows in Aug. and September.

So hard to get anything done with the yard work, cooking, housework, ect.

I love your first one with the Pastel blocks; beautiful! How big will the quilt be when complete?

Yes, The Holidays will be here before you know it. I need to make 1 table topper for my daughter. That's probably it. I have so little family. And, I gifted a new quilt to my mother last year. (For which, I know she is still using the same one I sent her when I first started to quilt. )

I might try to make a new quilt for DD and DSIL. They need a new one. I just need to buy a few more charm packs to mix with what I already have. They have much different taste then I do. So, it will be hit or miss whether they like it or not. It will be a new try for me. Monochromatic done in Blue's. And a first for using ALL solids.

And, I do have the fabrics for a toddler quilt for my granddaughter.

Oh dear, I guess I have more planned then I thought. I really should get started.

Thanks for the motivation. lol !!!!!

I really like your take on the Chevrons. Really cute!
