A few months ago I was asked to teach Wonky Christmas Trees at Ritzy Quilting for Christmas in July. As I did not make the sample quilt, I thought it best that I make a few blocks before I taught the class. I pulled fabrics from my stash to make this small top. It goes together really quickly. I hope to get it quilted today.
This past week I also got caught up with the A Vintage Christmas Sampler QAL by Kansas Troubles Quilters. I was slow to get started as I didn’t get the fabric kit until this past Monday. The HST on the far right are NOT part of the quilt – they were made with the cut off corners from the Square in a Square blocks and the Flying Geese. I don’t often participate in a BOM or QAL where the fabrics are kitted as I don’t want a quilt that looks like hundreds if not thousands of other quilts. This week Lynne “gave us permission” to use other fabrics outside of the kit for our blocks, suggesting we pull from our KTQ stashes. This is something I planned to do if I had too many ‘oops’ and needed more fabric, but decided not to wait. I have a whole bin of KTQ fabrics waiting to be used. It’s hard to tell, but I used 3 different fabrics in the pinwheel blocks.
Kansas Troubles fabrics are great. Glad you have a Stash of them. No cookie cutter Quilts is a good thing. Make it your own. Nice to ne asked to teach a Christmas in July class. Cute 🌲 Trees!
