Star of Wonder - FQS 2024 July Christmas Mystery
In July I was sewing up the 2024 Christmas Mystery offered by Fat Quarter Shop. It was a lovely design, but I was not thrilled with effect of the finishing step. So my piece hung on the design wall until ideas percolated. I imported a photo of my quilt center into EQ, then played around with options, which is a rabbit hole always worth falling into. Initially, I picked a very intricately pieced narrow 4 inch border. So much work and so me. I let that simmer until I came up with a more reasonable solution. I quickly stitched up that plan before I could change my mind. I am delighted with the outcome. I haven't quilted it yet but that should be fun. It measures 48 inches, point to point. It needs to be a topper, as cutting into it for a tree skirt would ruin the design.

Sulky Village
Sulky Village is FINALLY a flimsy. It was entirely paper pieced waaaayyy back in 2004. I tracked down the free pattern which you can still get at SULKY Village (BOM 2004) (sulky-shop.de) . I paper pieced letters for the name to include on the project. Now that I have the top together, I wish I had made those letters LOTS smaller, but it is done now and ready to free motion quilt. I want to get it finished and move on. It measures 30 x 48. I'll hang it on the porch this winter.

Meet Me In Paris
This is a work in progress. A free design recently shared by the Jelly Roll Club Meeting Room on Facebook. It was lots of fun to cut and sew together. I pulled from two collections of fat quarters for the larger squares and the sashing pieces. I still need to quilt it .... hopefully before the year is over. It measures 65 x 85 and will fit a twin bed nicely.
