First Completed WIP of 2013

I made it! I finished my Christmas Strings WIP before the end of the month, thus granting myself permission to start something new.


I used a quick and easy meandering stitch to free-motion quilt this project. I didn't want the quilting to interfere with all the lines of the "strings" so I kept it flowing.

This one is lap-sized, 48" x 60" - perfect for snuggling under on a cold winter day. If it wasn't so Christmassy, I'd have it out now. It's been really cold here - -27 degrees Celsius (-17 F), and -40 C or so with the windchill. BRRRR!

I also have a couple of projects from my Curves Class with Stitched in Color. One is in the dryer right now so I'll post about them later.

Now...what shall I choose for my new project?

That takes a lot of self control to finish a project before you start something new. Love the quilt!

It looks great Rachel -- I love having Christmas quilts -- I wish I had more. What to do next? There are so many choices -- I hope you can decide!
