Firstly the '12 Days of Christmas' project put out by the Temecula Quilt Company. I had bought a small pack of 16th's in blues which I used, and added borders from my stash! It looks a bit monochrome but that's ok too!
I would love to do this again using Christmas fabrics, ummmm! another distraction........
I will use left over lengths of the different blues in the binding!
Another wonderful distraction I worked on yesterday and into the night and early this morning was Lori's QAL, which you can find here: http://humblequilts.blogspot.com/2012/01/quilt-longs-part-1.html
I just loved the colour mix of the original little doll quilt, so I am staying as close to the original as I can!
So far this is Part 1 of her instructions, I used a Barbara Brackman pink, the red, navy and brown are from my stash! The cheddar will be the background or alternate blocks. Eagerly awaiting the next step!!!!
Maybe some housework might be in order now LOL! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Take it easy,
Merilyn

Oooh ... gorgeous 12 Days. And Lori's Pink Lemonade blocks are looking great. Can't wait for the next part.
I told Lori I don't fancy pink but to keep it real with the antique quilt I will.
12 Days came out lovely and your Pink Lemonade is going to be very refreshing!
Very nice "distractions"! I especially like the pink and yellow QAL.
Love your muted fabric choices for both projects.
The 12 Days turned out beautifully with your sashing and borders. The one patch is growing on me. I think your fabric choice makes it. It has to be an interesting one.
I was trying to stay close to the original on the little doll quilt, too. I have a few chrome yellows - I think that is what they are called - but have trouble using them.
Love both of your little projects. Be sure to upload your 12 Days of Xmas quilt on the flickr.com group - Temecula Quilt Co. 12 Days of Christmas to share with everyone else who made this darling quilt.
Both of your projects are great - wonderful choice of fabrics, I think :)
Your 12 days quilt came out great! And your other one is looking good too! :0)
I'm right there with you ;-)
So many other things I could be doing, but fun is fun!
Your 12 Days of Christmas is stunning in those muted blues!
Your pink lemonade project is looking great! You're making great progress on it already!
Yum Yum! I still could be tempted. I love that your colours are like the original.
Merilyn, i LOVE the look of your little mystery quilt, the fabrics are delish!! As for the repro QAL..well what can i say, it's just too darn cute..i'm tempted to have a go at that one too LOL!!
what a busy little start to the New Year..gotta love it!!

I have enjoyed seeing all the different interpretations of the Temecula quilt. Yours works beautifully.
Lori's QAL is right up your alley. You have really captured the look.
