Scrappy Split 9-Patch, Christmas 2012

Current project on my Design Floor - LOL

I am working on yet another Split 9-Patch.  That red in the HSTs was the only fabric I purchased for this project.  55 blocks done so far - the goal is 80.  It was looking somewhat blah, until I added those light "sparkles" of lavender, pink and a few yellows.  I realized too late the dark area could have been arranged in a better pattern.  That's OK. 

No pattern - blocks are 6 inches, finished.  It's looking good to me.

My crazy knitted blingy scarves have found homes for Christmas, and several Christmas Banners have also found homes.  I still have a few surprises hidden from DH, who has a birthday on the dreaded 12/21, end-of-Mayan-Calendar-date.  Perhaps I should give them 12/20???  He  asks only for my Lasagna each Birthday - it always turns out delicious.

  5. Hi Elaine, I'm adding your blog to my list in part because you are living in the Panhandle (love your header photo), but also because I like your quilts! I grew up in Scottsbluff and visit every year and miss it when I'm not there. Always go to Prairie Pines Quilt Shop when I'm home.

    Love your quilts too! - Roxanne

  7. Merry belated Christmas Elaine! The scarfs look very stylish. Checked out those vintage Santa's--I like them! A lasagna man--hmm--I know one just like him. Dark areas could be better arranged? Hmmm--I don't see that one. Are you getting snow??
