Oh Catmas Tree

On By wanderingcatyarns

We did it!!!!

Burton, Lemmy and I banged out another top for Yule-y.

We cut up a panel, made some coordinating snowflake blocks, and BAM! Instant top!

Working with a panel can mean a very quick-to-put together top, because you’re not making a million small blocks. But depending on what you do with that panel, it can also mean a lot of quilt math.

And they way I did it… TONNES of quilt math! And I definitely didn’t get it all correct, so there was some ripping. But still – I managed it in the end.

Here’s a closer look at the details of this one:

Now I have three Christmas-themed tops ready for quilting, along with backs and binding cut and ready to go.

And there’s still two weekends left to the month! I probably won’t get another top done this weekend, as Saturday is Dave’s birthday. But I might be able to finish one before the month is out. Either way, I’m thrilled with the three I’ve managed to complete!

    I love the design you came up with using the panels and snowflake blocks. The cats are adorable – the real life ones and the ones on the panels. I’m betting there will be a quilting weekend at your Mom’s soon.
