It's not often I have two posts in one week, but I'm excited to share some (quilting) news with you!
First, I have some finished UFO's!
The Scrappy Christmas Quilt was finished in April, but never got around taking photos
I've used red, green, grey, white and gold scraps (I almost ran out of greens!)
For the back I've chosen a beautiful poinsettia fabric
The stocking kit was given to me a couple of years ago (I never buy kits). This UFO was also one of the 'laying on the bench next to the table'.
Those of you who read my blog regularly, know I love making scrappy quilts. I'm a member of the Quiltsy Team on Etsy. The team has monthly challenges and for July/August: Scraps! Make anything from table runner to twin size quilt.
I have cut squares from leftover fabrics for years, separated Christmas from all other themes.
Big shoe box full of 2.5' squares!
Not so much sorted on colors,
Sorted on colors, and one of each. I'm thinking a lap quilt, but it won't be a unique one (meaning: no duplicates!). I have several of most fabric, it has to be duplicates.
Fun seeing some of these fabrics again, and some I can't even remember what I made. So this is what will keep my fingers warm the coming days.

Congratulations on your gorgeous finishes. I have never made a stocking but am so interested in doing so. I kit seems like a great way to go. Love how organized you are. I aspire to be organized. Lol. Have a great weekend.
The Scrappy Christmas quilt is beautiful. It is amazing how beautiful scraps can be when put together by a good quilter like you. Look forward to see what you make of the scraps you are sorting now. And such a good idea to make four of the stocking kit!
Oh! Astrid, please don't! Don't make gorgeous quilts that I want to duplicate. My list of to-do is long enough as it is, lol. I love your Scrappy Christmas Star quilt. Excellent job at using up scraps. Just wonderful! Congratulations. Four stockings for the price of two. Now, that is smart work. Your boxes of cut squares look like a treasure chest. Oh! It must be so much fun digging into it. Enjoy! ;^)
Great job on the scrappy Christmas quilt and good idea to make double the stockings from the kits. Can't wait to see what you do with the darling fussy cut 2 1/2" scrap squares!
I love your Scrappy Christmas Quilt!!
