Welcome to Christmas Corner, January 2021

Each month on the 25th (oops, had this all ready and forgot to publish it yesterday) I'll show a completed project, a peak, and a bonus.
I started this Scrappy Christmas quilt back in 2014 and worked on it for a couple years and then put it away until this past November when I was determined to finish it.  


The backing is this anti pill fleece from JoAnn Fabrics.  It is bound with a red and white stripe.


I made an effort to complete it in December for a Christmas gift but on Christmas morning I was only this far.  Finally finished a week or so later, so now it is the first gift ready for this Christmas!

You can see the swirls and snowflakes

A few sweet hearts.  I was testing out some hearts and swirls for Cheryl's mom's quilt.  

Some cutting instructions
Each block is made with a nine patch of 3 1/2" (unfinished) squares.  Then make (4) flying geese for the star parts, which are 4 1/2 x 9 1/2" (unfinished).  The unfinished corner squares are 4 1/2".   Stagger the star rows.  (I made mine with less seams, which was a bit daunting and probably why I didn't complete it much sooner.)

PEAK AT FEBRUARY'S PROJECT.

    THANKS FOR STOPPING BY CHRISTMAS CORNER!
Note:    If anyone wants to contribute something Christmas-y, they've made or a tutorial, for the next month's Christmas Corner, I'd love to add it to the post too!  Let me know.

You did a wonderful job on quilting Scrappy Christmas. It really looks great. Love both of the tree projects. Hope you make big progress of Walk in the Forest. (I'm so impressed with the names you've given to your quilts. I just don't get much beyond the purple quilt!
