Getting Ready for Guild Night

I finished the cuddle quilt that I was making for the Guild's Outreach Program and I think it turned out pretty cute. I know that the child that receives it will love it- it is such a fun and bright quilt. I sewed the binding on it yesterday and it just took a couple hours because it really isn't that large.

I didn't think I would have time to finish it this month because I was in a rush to make two family baby quilts by December 1 but in the end I only needed to make one. The other one can wait a little bit and that really took the pressure off.

4 blocks made earlier this month

Tonight is Guild night and I have a few things to hand in - the cuddle quilt, the string blocks that I made earlier in the month and this Delectable Mountain block that is for the Block of the Month draw.

The Guild provided the lighter background fabric and participants were to use a piece of their own Christmas fabric for the mountain. I think it turned really well considering we weren't supposed to use directional fabric .... and I did.

reject pieces

Well that was big mistake and I had to take some of the strips apart and cut more fabric so that all of the stripes went in the same direction. It would be nice to be a winner of some of these blocks - I think the winners will end up with gorgeous Christmas quilts.
