I really want to do a Christmas quilt. A quilt that will be a memory for my kids as we grow up and they will look forward to taking out of the Christmas decor box at the holiday season. I have been going back and forth between Kate Spain’s Flurry and Moda’s countdown to Christmas. I think I’m gonna go with Flurry, it has a bit more traditional feel that I think will be timeless, but like the color scheme of the Countdown collection. (I plan to use Countdown for an advent calendar though ;)).
The thing I know for sure is that I want to use a snowball quilt block. Seems to make sense to me since it’s a Christmas quilt an all. I drew out my design months ago, but have been waiting for the extra funds to buy the fabric, plus I’ve got some projects I’d like to get closer to complete before starting this one.
Here is my design…

Flurry does have a classic color scheme. I really like it too.

Hey! Before you jump into Christmas, what about October: It is not only the month for Halloween, but breast cancer awareness month!!! Treat yourself or a loved one because you care! I am just stopping by with a reminder to do your self breast exam.Here's a fun place to start! Everybody loves boob lube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p8pIHy2GRI

Love your fabric choices--we share taste!
Anxious to see the finished look.
I have begun a tree skirt myself and I am really enjoying it! It has been awhile since I made something for myself:)

Love it! Inspiring me to think what I can do since I'll be in a new place this Christmas. I think you will anjoy having a place setup in your new place to put all your supplies and work on your projects.
