Santa Did Good...uh.....well...sorta

Santa went shopping at the antique mall.

 HE found this WONDERFUL vintage quilt top HE liked VERY much!

SO HE bought it....for MRS. CLAUS.

 But being new to all this quilty 'stuff n things' SANTA didn't know what to look

out for after all.

SANTA didn't know this lovely little quilt top would and could have some "issues".

It had some really neat 9 patch blocks HE liked A LOT.

WHAT A BONUS... it was hand sewn and all.

 SANTA didn't know it would be "WAVY-WAVING" at him when he brought it home for

MRS. CLAUS.

HE also didn't know MRS.CLAUS would hug his neck and thank him

despite the quilt top flaws!!!

NOTE...the first thing I will do is remove the border.  It is a wreck!  I think someone besides the top maker sewed on the border and they DID NOT know what they were doing!

Log Cabin

My friend Terry just finished her wonderful wonky log cabin quilt.  You can see it HERE.

As I watched her progress I was inspired to find my half finished one I started W-A-Y back when.  This was a Melly and Me project years ago when I first started blogging.  I think I cleaned my studio when company was coming and put it away and eventually was forgotten.  You know how that goes, forgotten and replaced by a "shiny and new" quilt project you saw in blogland.

These are NOT sewn together yet and I haven't decided how I will piece it all together

when I get enough blocks made.

The quilt on the left has been hanging around for a while too.  Made from all men's shirting fabrics has had it's blocks moved and changed and completely re-arranged A MILLION times.  Should I make MORE flying geese?  Should I make another different type of block?

You know how that ROUTINE goes!!

Just haven't had any inspiration on how I want to complete it.

SOOOO, thanks Terry for making me 'get the lead out' and make an effort to get MY log cabin finished!!!
