UFO of the Month Update

The month is more than half over and I am right on track to finish my March UFO. I am finishing the Temecula Secret Santa mystery quilt that we started last fall. 
At the beginning of the month I washed and pressed the backing, prepared a batting, and pin basted the quilt. 
Then I started machine quilting as I usually do, stitching a vertical and horizontal grid using a white thread. I stitched in the ditch on both sides of the sashing, and then straight down the centre of the sashing.
And then the fun part... stitching with red thread on the diagonal squares.
I'm not sure where to quilt next but I do hope to have the binding attached to start hand stitching for Slow Sunday Stitching.

In addition to finishing this quilt, I'm also looking forward to the arrival of Spring Equinox and seeing the Supermoon tonight !

    I love that striped fabric you used for your sashing and in the blocks!

    I'm pretty sure I saved the pattern for that quilt - one day I need to think about Christmas quilts way in advance!! Too many things in the works I guess going on all the time. Love your quilt

    It will be fun to see this one quilted. I like how you change thread colors. Gotta get working on my UFO for March. Delivering it in April to my Wyoming Family.
