"Holiday Leftovers"

I have been sewing a lot this week.
As mentioned in my previous post 
I cut up a lot of my Christmas fabrics from my stash.

I really do have way too much
Christmas fabric and honestly
have not made a dent in it.

Cut up and sewn into scrap blocks...


The blocks were "squared" to 9"...
Then assembled into rows and built into a quilt top...


There wasn't any fussy cutting but found this surprise...

"Sleigh Ride"...how cute!
I added a tiny 1" border and then a scrappy
2" border from cut up strips I had cut...
and finished with a 3" border...

This could also be a table topper...
'cause my snowmen on a sled look really cute on it!

The final result...

"HOLIDAY LEFTOVERS"!

Finished at 63" X 63"...
a little larger than expected.

So I have one Christmas top ready for quilting
later in the year and the year of sewing is off to a good start!

Happy Sew Year!
Colleen
