While I didn’t have a tonne of time the weekend for sewing (just Sunday), I was determined to get another Christmas top together.

It took a little prep. I did all the cutting the weekend before. And I stole an evening after work to sew up some blocks.

Then I was able to hit the ground running on Sunday and sew the top together.

It’s not a huge top – Just 49 blocks, so it didn’t take too long to sew it all together.

I added a few thin borders, and built it out to a respectable 57″ square. Perfect for a small lap quilt

Here’s a closer look at those fabrics.

Aren’t those fabrics cute? I only had two fat quarters of each of the prints, so I had to get creative with how to use them. I think I did pretty good.

I had several yards of the red polkadot fabric so that helped. And I buy plain white by the bolt, so I had lots of that.

So… that’s two tops complete before the middle of the month! That’s excellent progress in my book! Can’t wait to see what I manage this weekend!
