Design Wall Monday - January 5

 This will be a busy week, but I'm optimistic about the amount of sewing time I'll be able to get in anyway.  And I've prepped a few things to work on in short increments as time allows.


Clue #7 of the BH mystery are sets of 4 neutral rectangles with light blue corners.  I have 3 sets done, but will need a few more.  These sew up really fast. It will probably take longer to cut them than sew them. 


The mini banner is sandwiched and ready for some quilting.  I haven't decided yet just how I want to quilt it - other than keeping it simple.  Maybe just some stitch in the ditch? 


Also sandwiched and ready for quilting are more placemats.  And there are 2 additional ones that are quilted but need binding.  By the end of the month these should all be finished, even if I only tackle a couple at a time. I really like how those blue and cream square-in-a-square units (leftover from a past BH mystery) look all together in the placemat. 

A few Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks in blue are waiting to be cut out now that one of the design boards is empty.  I like to lay block parts out on the design boards to reduce the chances of sewing pieces in the wrong spots.  A couple of Snails Trail blocks and a couple of Give It a Whirl blocks are on the agenda for this week.

Your snowman banner is really cute. I'd make him my priority if he lived here. And, yes, stitch in the ditch would work well. I hope you get to all your sewing plans this week.

I just love that banner. Maybe I need to track it down to order a kit.

The 'snowflakes' on the snowman runner are beautiful!

The snowman banner is really cute, Sara! I really like the snowflakes - are they paper-pieced, too? Have fun quilting it!
