Christmas sew along

Just got started on this fun little Christmas quilt yesterday....can't wait to make more blocks...

Christmas Favorites...

 Christmas Favorites is Nancy Halverson's latest Christmas book and fabric line....

 The fabric was a pure joy to work with...such vivid bright colors-- the mix of traditional with a modern twist...

 The pattern was designed with a BOM in mind...If you were to take and do a block of the month, it would be a really enjoyable sew...

 There is a button kit you can order for embellishments, however, I opted to make yo-yos instead.  I feel that they really add a touch of whimsy...

 The poinsettia block has gathered leaves for embellishment which really look darling...

 There is a mix of piecing as well as applique with a touch of embroidery...

This is quite possibly my favorite block in the quilt...I have always told my children...If you don't believe, you don't receive...
