Rustic Homemade Christmas Project....

I have all this....lots of scraps, ranging from 8inches to curves that were once destined to Dresden Plates or perhaps Double Wedding Ring patterns. All courtesy of a dear older lady from the church we first attended down here. Her mother was a quilter, always a project...or 2 or 3...going in the fabric bin.

I love fabric that has a story, a bit history to share :)

We'll start with blocks...I'm cutting lots of 3 1/4" blocks from the smaller sections (that's the ones in the upper left there...). We'll have the girls do some doll quilts, or maybe work on something larger even, in a basic 9-patch :)

There is a gallon bag packed with fan-shapes done up in a pink/white and blue/white check that matches the green/white and orange/white there. Not sure what to do with them yet...

And way back when (don't ask!) I shared a photo of some green/white with dark olive green bow-tie blocks I had *already* done....pulled them out today as well. Dang if they weren't any more finished than they were when I put them away *way back when*....apparently my little worker seamstress mice are slacking in their duties :(

There is no excuse for a lack of Christmas gifts to share on this homestead at all. We have ample supplies for crafting a whole host of goodies!
