Runner Up!

Monday morning came and went.  I had a fresh new day to myself and was eager to cut into my new Christmas fabrics.  On Friday I finished Christmas Runner #1 and I was ready for #2.

I had a plan.  Equilateral triangles and Christmas trees were on my mind.  But since I have never pieced triangles before, I resisted the urge to cut the pretties and went back to the uglies - just in case.

And it was a good thing too.
Because the plan wasn't behaving and I ended up just sewing them into these rows and adding some patchwork squares.  Ta, da!



Plan B:  When Plan A failed, I went into a completely different direction.  Of course, I choose to work with another shape I have no experience with.  The Hexagon!

Two of my new fabrics were telling me they needed a fussy cut plan.  I am taking on machine sewn hexagons using the tutorial by Jacquie of Tall Grass Prairie Studio here.

I am not sure how large my version is going to be.

But please.... Wish me luck!


Only 84 big sleeps to go now!

Keep On Quilting On!
