First Christmas Quilt block!

This is the first block of my Christmas Quilt that our Quilt Workshop gals are doing. There are six blocks altogether - they are about 24" square and then there are a number of borders. Every block has a lot of applique work (not my strong suit) I am not always using the colors that they show in the pattern. Most of us are doing 'our own thing'

I never know where to put the object that I am taking a picture of - the block is actually square - just a horrible angle.

Coffee Lap Quilt

Finished lap quilt #13 this afternoon. It is a simple block design, however, for the first time I have sewed a double border around the outside. I have yet to quilt it - probably a simple sew in the ditch around the two borders - when I use the high loft fiber fill, it is more difficult to sew in the ditch or use a decorative stitch.
