Well let's not talk about the fact that I didn't even look at November's UFO project so therefore did not make any progress on it! I didn't even cut the batting, which is a fairly easy job to do. I just got busy with so many other things (squirrel!) and spent too much time hibernating because it's dark and cold.
So this month I'm choosing a project that might have a chance of getting some attention... my Kim Diehl Christmas Tree project. I bought the fabrics and book in 2017 as a Christmas gift to myself. It was such a fun project to sew... I loved the fabrics, the instructions were terrific, the blocks were complicated enough to challenge me but not too overwhelming, and the overall design is unique. I would really like to finish it as a gift to myself by Christmas of 2019!But I can't decide... does it want to be a tabletopper or a tree skirt?

Ooh, I'd be torn, too! It's so beautiful
ReplyDeleteThat's a tricky one! If it's a tree skirt you will only get glimpses of it but on the table it will be seen in all its glory. Not sure what I would do but I hope you get it finished because it's a real beauty!
ReplyDeleteTable topper!
ReplyDeleteIt would be so hard for me to cut into that lovely center star to make the skirt. Do you have a nice big table? If so, topper would be the way to go! :)
ReplyDeleteIt can be both.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely show this off as a table topper!
ReplyDeleteI agree about making it a table topper so that it can be clearly seen. Beautiful project, I hope you get the opportunity to complete it.
ReplyDeleteTable topper. It would be a crime to cut into the center. You can make another one and put a plain center in it (ha ha). I borrowed the book from a friend after seeing yours and planned to just make one tree as a small wall hanging. Was going to work on it at retreat, but quickly decided it required more concentration than I would give it at retreat. Haven't gotten back to it yet. Sigh.

I’d use it as a table topper or over the back of a chair. It’s really pretty.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goal--it's going to be beautiful! I would find it really hard to cut a slit in it, so I'm voting for table topper too--lol!
ReplyDeleteOh sew cute. Tab;e topper sounds great.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I think I heard it say table topper.....but you'd have to ask it and get that ear down there to listen to the answer! Good luck. Cute little quilt.... I keep looking at my kit I have of hers for Bittersweet Briar. I think 2020 is the year to work on it... finally. I've had the kit since 2010 at least!
ReplyDeleteLike that tree block. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.
ReplyDeleteLove.
ReplyDeleteOooooh pretty! Good luck with your OMG.
ReplyDeleteTable topper - I have the book and want to make one also! Good for you reaching into the UFO box! Hugs
