Santa Quilt Goal

It turned out pretty nice!  My kids were really excited about it as well!  They are really excited at how big it is going to be when it is done.  They didn't realize it would be almost the size of a twin bedspread (would just need more length, I think).  They all wanted to help hold it up for the picture, but you can only see the top of Aubrey's head.  Jonathan and Mariahs fingers are there though.

Anyway, just the borders to go!  Unfortunately the outside border is a bunch of stack and wack blocks, so that's going to take some time.  I think my goal this week will be to add the red border and start the stack and wack blocks.

Santa Block Done!

So the Santa block took a lot more time than I realized and with halloween and regular family life, I didn't get the blocks all put together, but I did get Santa's arms and mittens on.  I have to mention that Aubrey (my oldest daughter) was not pleased with the size of Santa's head.  Jon told her to be polite and say that my project looked nice.  She couldn't really do it, pretty funny!  It is rather large compared to the body, and especially the mittens!  But it's cute anyway, and it will be fun to get finished!  Jonathan is the cute little boy holding the block up and he is so excited about this quilt, it is really fun.  I plan to get all the blocks sewn together this week.
