A Final Monthly Mini- December

What better way to end 2019

than to spotlight a December mini.

The colors of the month?

Definitely, red and green.

I was inspired by a free pattern

Pam Budda had available on her website.

Holiday Spirit

26" x 26"

I increased the size of the blocks.

Hers were very small. 😊😊

I also made the blocks scrappy

and also added a border.

I kept the quilting simple and 

used a 28 wt. Aurifil thread to add texture,

but added a design in the border

which really doesn't show up except on the back.

If you have been quilting for a long time

you might recognize the fabric

I used for the binding.

It's an oldie.

It's from the Rising Sun collection

from the Smithsonian, way back when.

Guess it's why we have a stash!

I've enjoyed the monthly mini 

challenge hosted by Wendy

at The Constant Quilter.

I hope 2020 will 

find me continuing to use pieces from my stash,

being inspired and challenged by all of you,

and above all, having fun creating, playing,

while exploring new possibilities.

****

I'll be back at the end of January.

Heading off on an adventure.

Until Next Time- Adios
