Christmas! in July?

Yes there is this fun thing that happens in July. We are all craving Christmas! Stores have sales, and quilters make quilts!

Recently, I found some left over charms called Tinsel Time and thought I should use them up and make a mini quilt.

I added a couple of reds to round out the size.

Now I need to decide on a border.


So what do you think? Blue snowflakes or red ornaments?

Well, if you want it for Christmas I'd use the ornament fabric but the blue would make it more wintry which means you could use it longer if that's important to you. I like the ornament fabric but both are pretty and the whole quilt is darling!

I concur with Sam, but I do love the red with the piece.

Snowflakes would extend the (shelf) life of the quilt. Make it more usable for a longer period of time during the winter. The red looks really good, though! It comes down to personal preference. They both work.
