The Top is Finished . . . It's time to Quilt!!

Just before Christmas, I finished up the one more Super Scrappy Triple Irish Chain block (tutorial here)  that I needed for my quilt top.   And of course, I totally had to sew all the blocks together then (even if that meant I was up a little late on the 23rd wrapping presents ;)  It is so exciting to see the top all finished!!   (please excuse the poor photo, we ended up with a White Christmas that is still being added to so this is a sewing room floor shot)


And then or course, it got set aside the last few days for Christmas celebrating.  We had a very Merry Christmas and enjoyed spending hours and hours just chatting with family, watching the kids play with toys, and eating lots of yummy food.  And yes, the Charming Handbags were a huge hit with my nieces :)

And now, its a new day . . . and I am ready for some serious Quilting Time!!  I have a  fun idea in my head and I can't wait to get this on the long arm and get quilting.  Just need to make lunch, and then nap time for the littles kidlets and play time for the older kidlets is going to equal Quilt Time for mom ;)

What about you . . . Do you have an After The Holiday's project you have been anticipating??

Linking this Quilt Top Finish to Sarah's and Amanda's :)
Pin It!

    Love the yellow and black combo, Melissa! This reminds me of a scrappy trip, but also of the Irish Chain. Looks fantastic!

    Very pretty quilt. What a great way to use up all those 2.5" squares we save.

    Love Irish chain. I have used scrap bindings many times. It is fun to try to hide one in the binding and see if anyone notices.
