Holiday Quilts

Sunday Sewing

December 9, 2018July 8, 2020 Post a comment

Hi friends!

Today I tried to slow things down. I spent a little time this morning reading and snuggling with the animals. Then chatting with friends and I got around to sewing a little this afternoon. 

If you have been following me on Instagram, you have seen the red and white blocks I have been sewing.

I mentioned the #christmascountdownsewalong in this post last week and I have been keeping up so far each day with making the blocks. 

But, let me tell you, they are tough! They are only 4 ½” so …. you can imagine how small some of the HST and flying geese units are!

This is today’s block.

Disclaimer: my blocks are not perfect!

To get an idea of the size, here is an image of the HST units next to a quarter.

Yikes! Here are a few more blocks from this past week.

Off to go do a little holiday decorating now!

Happy quilting,

Kate
