Displaying them framed side-by-side or over & under would make a nice statement in any room. Very nice work. Thanks for sharing.

I think they would make lovely Christmas table mats. If you have two of each make them 21 inches wide by 42 inches long.

If only the two shown, Make Christmas pillows, separate table matts: Many ways you can utilize your beautiful work.

Hi,
Make it your personal BOM goal. Make only one a month. That way the project is not so overwhelming. And in time it will be complete. I've done this many times and it truly is worth the effort. Just my 2 cents.

I'd keep on and do all 12. Just think, in 12 weeks you could have a beautiful quilt. Some of my applique blocks take a week or more to complete, and others have said they worked on yo-yo quilts for YEARS. The first two blocks are georgeous and I encourage you to keep on keeping on. Even if you have to take a break and just do one a month. Lots of BOMs take that long. Do it!! You'll be glad you did.

They are beautiful, and there are great ideas here,but I would love for you to continue and complete the quilt. It would make such a breathtaking quilt, and one you would be prod of.
GOD bless, and good luck.
