Finally the borders are on the quilt!

I have been setting the same sewing goals for weeks now-

"Put borders on the Christmas in July quilt"

The borders are on and guess what.... I have decided I really don't like this quilt!

Sticking it away in the "to be quilted/donated/I don't know" pile

Sometimes you just need to put a project away to really appreciate it!

Creativity block....

I'm stuck...can't figure out how to finish this quilt top.

My quilt chapter is having a

"Christmas in July" contest on July 13th

I had decided to use up the multiple

red fat quarters I received from my

quilt chapter ladies as a thank you last year

at the end of my chapter presidency.

I also decided to use up other fabric

out of my enormous fabric stash.

It's not working...don't know where to go

with this pattern.

I have 55 blocks made.

I would need one more block if I

laid it out in a 7 by 8 block top.

The blocks are just going to have to sit

for a hour(or day or weekend}

while I figure this out!

Christmas in July project

My Syracuse (Utah) Quilt Chapters summer Quilt competition is titled

"Christmas in July"

Each quilter is to make a Christmas related quilt-wallhanging-table runner.

When I retired as Chapter President last December, all the ladies got together

and gave me a huge gift bag of red fabric fat quarters!

I love the color red!!!

I pulled out this pinwheel pattern with template that I also got last Christmas

My background fabric is a cream small leaf print.

I have also purchased a tan/brownish circle print, as well as a med-dark green leaf print.

As you can tell, I am not a traditional Christmas person, since I will be using all shades of red.

Looking forward to seeing how this all comes together!
