Since I don't have enough of the red fabric I've been using in my triangles to make the whole quilt I have planned, I have decided to use green for half the blocks. The green has a bit of glitter in it which doesn't show up in the photos.
I like the green, but the triangles today seem a bit darker overall, so I think I'll pick up some lighter fabrics to use next time (white or cream backgrounds--still Christmas prints).
Some of today's details:
 |
| Doesn't everyone have fabric with flamingos wearing Santa hats? |
 |
| Nutcracker Men |
 |
| I'm not sure what berries have to do with Christmas, but they are pretty. |
 |
| Another beautiful fabric |
I haven't decided on a layout yet; I could simply alternate the green and red stars, or I could do an around-the-world arrangement. I'll have to try it out when I have enough to arrange.

Those flamingoes are just the cutest!
ReplyDeleteThe flamingoes are certainly a new slant on Christmas fabric :)

They are fun--they even have glitter! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha love the flamingo - I have a flamingo zipper bag (I made it a few years ago) that I use every Christmas to hold my Christmas receipts :D 'mingo NEVER tells my husband how much I've spent ;)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great--I still have most of a yard left--I may make little bags!
