Winter/Christmas Crazy Quilt July 2020 Update



One of my goals for the year is to finally finish this crazy quilted wall quilt. Way, way back in 2014, I completed a round robin with 5 very talented crazy quilters through the Crazy Quilt International Group.

After embellishing the final block, I pieced all six blocks together to create a small wall quilt. Then I came up with the brilliant idea of quilting the borders with hand embroidered and beaded snowflakes. 

I love the look, but began to dread stitching the snowflakes after a while. As a result, this has been sitting in a bag for years. I made a tiny bit of progress in February, and set it aside again. 

This month, I worked on it a few days during my lunch break at work and actually made some visible progress. In August, I hope to be much closer to a finish! 

To push me along, this is my current project for the 1 Xmas Item a Month Blog and it is #9 on my 2020 UFO list.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you are all enjoying some relaxing crafting time.

    I love the snowflakes in the border. The whole colour scheme is lovely, too. It will be a delight to display this for Christmas 2020, won't it?

    It is worth doing, for the absolutely beautiful piece it will be! You're on the downhill side, I think.

    Looks great Renee! I love the additional touch of the beaded snowflakes even though I know they're a right royal pain to do.
