Winter Wonder, Day 7

When I put together all my blocks so far, I kept thinking ‘where's the red??’ I was trying to use other colors so the bright Christmas red wouldn’t be overwhelming and instead… it almost disappeared!

Fixing that today and tomorrow (if tomorrow’s project is the cardinal, like the three of us are betting it is.)

Teena’s block. Love that swirl fabric!

Yesterday’s glittery green made me think of this bright red fabric I just added to the stash. The white background I used on all the other blocks was terrible against the silver, so it looks like the last 3 blocks* will use this pretty holly green background. 

Test sample success

Three blocks makes a pattern, right? Like I planned it rather than it being an oopsie? Hoping it’s as pretty IRL as I’m picturing in my head. 

We think this is tomorrow’s block… 50% chance we’re right!

This was another fun, easy pattern. Teena and I both finished in just over two hours - it would have been sooner but after sewing one section we both changed our mind on colors and had to start over. Worth it!

 Not my work, but I’d love to do another star using stripes like this

* Not the ‘last’ blocks! Teena and I are enjoying this project so much we’re continuing it into the new year. Planning to do a new Christmas-y FPP block every couple of weeks so we’ll both have a big, new quilt for the 2026 holiday.
