Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »

Instructions

In retrospect I think I would have done better the hand applique. My machine works looks kind of sloppy, but there you go :-)

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Home


What was your inspiration?

Since this project will be completed just before the holidays, I'm using modern Christmas colors, but not necessarily all holiday themed prints.

What are you most proud of?

I still really love this color scheme for the holidays

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

If you don't use one solid background - mine are all different - you may have more work to lay out the blocks in a pleasing pattern.

I just added a comment to MY pictures about your response. Just want to be sure you see it. I think you get a notification when anyone on your "follow" list responds, but I'm never sure. So please check out my projects when you get a chance. Thanks.

I also like that you used different backgrounds, makes it special. Your reds are a beautiful shade --- just perfect for the holiday - not too orange. I think all your blocks look great. I too will be using some different background because of necessity, I'm afraid. LOL

Even though you did not use all one background, This looks lovely, and I did not notice until you pointed it out. I love it, and can't wait to see it all together.
