Wow, it's hard to believe we've been hopping for a full week now, isn't it? So many great ideas are whirling around in my head, like snowflakes in a snow globe.
Shiny things are such a distraction, aren't they? I want to drop everything right this minute and make some of these wonderful projects. And we've got more today! Tracie from Riceford Streams has a fabulous quilt to tempt you with, and Sharon from Vrooman's Quilts has generously come back again with a couple of fabulous quick projects.

If you're managing to follow along with a block a day, you should be making your seventh block today. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of my versions at the seventh block, so I'm sharing a picture of what it looked like on my quilt frame. I really dithered about how to quilt this top, but finally realized that I needed to just do it so I had a finished version to share. I ended up doing what I call "girlie swirlies" on it, a tight swirl that comes to a point. I think it played well with the starbursts on this fun grunge fabric! It doesn't interfere with the design, just gives it an overall texture - and it's finished, which is the important part, right?
I'm still working on my borders...
...and I'm really hoping that I can get this medallion version finished completely by the end of the hop so I can share it with you all! Keep your fingers crossed for me, ok?
Keep working on yours - a finished Christmas quilt for this year's holiday season is within your reach!
Hugs!
Sarah
Good luck on finish! I look forward on seeing it done.
