I finished piecing this top today and the realization hit me square in the face---I cannot finish this quilt for Christmas. So I have left my sewing room and chilled this afternoon. I had a cup of coffee, made my grocery list for the family Christmas get together and I'll start planning my quilting tomorrow!

This is a paper pieced pattern by Judy Neimeyer called Hawaiian Star. The colors are more brilliant than the photo and I am pretty happy with it even though I must work on the skills to do Y seams better.

that is a lovely quilt - I have done two of her quilts but not to that level of difficulty I think

Just stunning! I hope you're proud of yourself!

Good for you to decide to let it go, no sense stressing to the last minute :D

OMG it is beautiful! I don't think I will EVER get good enough to tackle something like that! Love the colors too!
