"A Blessed Day" Wall Hanging quilt

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well. I finished the binding on my little Christmas wall hanging. I decided to call it "A Blessed Day", seeing that we were so blessed to have Mary give birth to baby Jesus and that Joseph was there to support and love them through it all. I still need to put a hanger on the back of it, so that it hangs properly. I just did some simple machine quilting. I only have my old machine and my walking foot to work with. I didn't really want to hand quilt it. Thanks for the comments about the border. I decided that a simple dark blue border would tie everything together nicely. This quilt is 15 inches square. Such a great size for a wall hanging. Well, I hope you like it!!!

Hugs

An Accuquilt GO!! giveaway at Sweet P Quilting and some progress....

There is another wonderful giveaway going on at Sweet P Quilting for the amazing Accuquilt GO! Cutter. I would just love to win one of these. It would really make making quilts so much faster. You know how little time we all have to quilt. So go check out her tutorial and giveaway!!!

I also have been working on that little project I gave you a sneak peak the other day. Right now it's just a 12.5 inch unfinished block. I'm not sure what to do for a border. Maybe I should trim it a little smaller, than put a border. It's just going to be a little wall hanging. I hand blanket stitched around all the pieces, than added a bit more stitching. I made this from one of my original drawings. I also have a second one on the go. But I will machine stitch all the pieces and see how that turns out.

Let me know what you think I should do for the border. I need some suggestions.

 Hey! Maybe this will end up a little pattern for me to share....you never know ;). So keep coming back to check!!

Hugs
