It was a busy week last week. Christmas decorations came out in spite of the unseasonably warm weather. Sometimes you just have to enjoy the weather and go for a long walk because one of these days it will be cold and windy and probably snowy like later today and the rest of December. I sewed a few courthouse steps to go between the tri rec stars. I'm not a matchy matchy quilter so the dark strips will be a combination of green and red strips and if they happen to fall beside a red or green background star so be it. I thought I would go with dark on three sides for the outside round of blocks for the impression of a border. This week I should mix up cookies and sew a few more blocks. Don't forget to enjoy the Christmas season. --Ann-- Linking to

The courthouse steps look great with the star blocks. I agree with you... the fabrics sometimes have to just stay where they land. Too much fussing can drive me crazy.
ReplyDeleteThis setting is always so appealing to me. I love how it makes the stars pop, and at the same time has the courthouse steps to accentuate them. Your colors are great, too.
ReplyDeletei love love love this.....so christmas-y rustic....
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful Christmas quilt. I'm not a matchy matchy quilter either so I'm drawn to the mix of fabrics so much. Just love it.
ReplyDeleteLike your stars and courthouse steps. This is going to be a wonderful quilt.
