WIP Wednesday 07/23/2014

Progress on my Winter/Christmas Wall Quilt this week consisted of sewing the blue border between the three pairs of blocks.  I just need to hand sew a tiny section near the white bead on the Family block and I will be ready to add the next set of border strips.  (Click on any image for a larger view.)

Here are the three sets pictured together:
I am excited to see this project completed!  We will see how much progress I can make with the other obligations I need to meet this next week.

All your colour choices are great. As to the list, I did one of those earlier on in the year and I've lost it.

Renee said...

Thank you, Pamela! Blue is one of my favorite colors too!

Thank you, Carolyn! I had issues subscribing to the comment feed on your blog, but I just love the sampler you have been working on.

Your wintery blocks are so fresh, frosty and charming with that little red detail on each. Just love them!
You do have a lot on your list! Keep up the good work, Renee.

The blue sashings are a great match with the blocks.
