No, I’m not going to sing the song for you…although I do a mean Miss Piggie version of “5 Golden Rings! Ba dum dum dum!”. I’ve been working on another project for the Savvy Seasons Swap over at Flickr. I also made the Christmas Apron for my partner and now I’ve pulled out another Christmas fabric that I had from last year and am working with it. At our first quilting retreat, Cherie generously shared a bunch of Kate Spain’s 12 days of Christmas fabrics with us and I can’t remember who I had to fight off…whether it was Karen or Mandi, but I was determined to get the panel from the line. I’m not quite sure why either. I must have REALLY been in the Christmas mood. lol
The panel is darling but I didn’t have a plan for it…but I do now. 😉 I’ll share the final product idea when I’m further along, but so far I’ve cut up the panel and have turned each block into a scrappy wonky star with the panel piece in the center. So that gives me 12 blocks. And I happily have reached into my scraps for the whole thing!! Woohoo!
Phew! That was a lot of work! Enjoyable and relaxing…but even wonky quilting I do precisely. 😉 I’m just not a speedy quilter.
Do you have a favorite block? I change my mind all the time… I sort of love how the fabric in #9 looks like ruffles on a tutu for the dancing lady. And how the AH fabric in #11 has a mod sound feel to it for the piping. But they’re all fun to me!
Very cool blocks!
Oh that is CUTE! What a great way to use a panel. Can't wait to see the whole quilt put together!
those are so cute!
Well so far what you've come up with is ADORABLE!
Ca-ute! Those wonky stars really capture the whimsical spirit of the panel quite nicely! I have a couple of these panels as well. I'll add this setting to my idea file.
I really like the way you've used the panel prints…those blocks are so perfect!
Very beautiful Angela! Thanks for sharing!
I love these, Angela! Cute wonky star shape. Those details you pointed out are sweet.
Love this! Those were odd-size blocks on the panel, so this is perfect! Love your use of solids, too 🙂
SO CUTE!
this is a dish towel at crate and barrel this season. love your blocks!
I love it!!! 9 and 10 are my favorite!
I've never seen that 12 Days of Christmas fabric, and I love it. I have a granddaughter for whom that song is particularly special. Last year I gave her a charm necklace with all those characters on it. It would be wonderful to make a quilt with the same theme. Thanks for sharing so I can look for the material!
I like all the blocks, wish I had thought of something like this for my block of month on my blog. 🙂
Have a great week!
God bless and keep you,
Sonia
I am LOVING this! I'm also loving that you stuck to your stash! I can never seem to do that… I need some more solids, I think.
these are ADORABLE!! I love how christmasy it all looks although you don't actually use holiday fabric.
super cute angela. what a fun idea for a christmas quilt.
I like 8 the best. I love the panel though. I might just need to find me one 🙂
Great way to set the squares. love that stripe fabric. My favorite are the leaping lords.
I had to google for the panel and found it in its entirety. You sure did make good use of it. I like how you preserved a wee bit of the stripes before cutting out the squares. And star points all from scraps–extra brownie points for that!
Nice job of shopping your own stash! The 12 Stars of Christmas is (are?) great!!
They`re fabulous.
Very nice! Yeah, I think my favorite has to be the maids a milking block. The back of the cow cracks me up. 😉 I love your star blocks!
So cute. I did some poking around in my Christmas stash and I have the panel too! Whoot!
Very nice, thanks for sharing.
