In January, between other projects, I began piecing a throw size Christmas quilt for our home, in the now apparently vain hope that my stash of Christmas fabrics would finally be depleted. Well, that hasn't happened, but the top has occupied the design wall for a month, and needs to come off so I can work on a quilt ministry project. A little over half the top has now been pieced. Here's the latest photo of progress, this is the top half of the quilt.
Finishing piecing this top is my OMG for February, and if the scrappy flannel backing is also pieced it will be a huge bonus. My plan is to machine quilt this next fall after the benefit auction takes place in September.
Oh yes, that's my Quilty 365 languishing in the hoop stand in the background. You'll be seeing this one again as a One Monthly Goal (probably for several months) after handquilting of my basket quilt is completed.

Very pretty! I love those stars! ---"Love"
I am getting stressed just reading about what you plan to accomplish.
But I love your Christmas quilt, and look forward to seeing two halves become one. :)
Love the red and green colors and stars. Can't go wrong with that. Good luck on your February finish.
Love the simplicity of the pattern for your Christmas quilt. It's great to show off different fabrics. Remember this month is short....enjoy it.
Wow...it’s really pretty. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
Your OMG for February just sparkles - a classic pattern and the reds and greens are perfect.
Very nice! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts and good luck on your project!
That's always been a favorite pattern of mine. It's a good one for highlighting a theme fabric. One of these days I'm going to have make one.
It looks so nice. It seems like fabrics gather faster than they deplete!
