We haven't had summer yet but it is not too early to be thinking of making fresh stuff for Christmas.
I shall be making a full size bed quilt as usual . If plans are made too late it turns into a chore .
Because of the rain I have been confined to the house instead of being in the garden .
This morning I was reading a back issue of a House Beautiful magazine dated Dec,. 2007.Of course it contained a lot of Christmas stuff . That is what made me think , confined to the house , root around in the fabric . Plenty of red, peruse the patchwork books for inspiration .
Yesterday I was finishing a top. Today I shall put it together with it's wadding and backing before playing with ideas for the Christmas quilt .

All that red. How pretty. Dd you decorate the sheets and pillowcases with the check fabric?
yes Christmas creeps up on us and surprises me every year! You are going to be well prepared
I totally agree that now is the time to begin Christmas projects, especially larger projects. I would like to make a Christmas Dresden Plate quilt. I have some lovely fabric that has been calling to me. I love red/white quilts, very classic.
Lovely quilt. Yes, in order not to be caught out AGAIN I should start NOW!!
I like this quilt very much. It's a departure from your usual style of fabric, which is always fun. Yes, the back could be used for holiday decorating and also Valentine's Day. Truly lovely!
