This block had a lot more pieces than I realized! It took a while to cut it out, but the sewing wasn't so bad. I didn't have the fabric in my kit for the beard, but I had this other white that I really like. In the picture it appears that the stripe angles (which would be pretty sweet), but it actually goes straight up and down. I also didn't have anything for the rosy cheeks. I only had really bright pinks, so I used the wrong side of a pink print I had to get the right amount of pink. I think it turned out nicely!
My goal for this next week is to add the little red bird in the tree (I didn't realize I had forgotten it!) and then to add the arms and mittens on Santa. Then put all the blocks together!! How exciting!
The fun thing about this quilt is that my kids, especially Jonathan are so excited about it! Jonathan loves to help lay out any pieces, watch what I am doing and see how each part turns out. It is really cute!
