This pattern is called "Fantail's fancy".

I will have fun next year picking fabrics to do these blocks ready for next years Christmas.

I have such a kind "aunty" she sent me a gift voucher, so I could go shopping while I wait for the slow boat that's coming via the North pole and China with my stocking on it.
Now the hard part begins, just WHAT to get. :) There is soooo much to pick from, but i will post it here when I get it so everyone can see what I got. Now to go shopping, OOOO the hard work of doing that.

Well here it is, the finished Christmas top, but just when it will get quilted is the mystery. Ha ha.

We all have them tops that have been made but not sandwhiched or quilted, so whats one more top added to the list of UFO's.

When I get the 'roundtuit' I will get them quilted, but untill then its a 'summer top' that will spend Christmas in the office of the park where we live.

Here are the four corner blocks for my Taylors Tulips BOM I have been doing. Please do not tell me my corners are cut off, as it has been hard work doing these blocks, due to the MS in my left hand and arm. I am just happy to be able to do some sewing, plus the quilt is for me and no-one else.

I have got one set of borders on and have been piecing together a second border to go onto it. I just might get it finished for Christmas 2009. Sewing has been very hard for me to do, but I have tryed my best, am having to use more pins to try and get things lined up, unlike befor when I could hold it in place and just sew. Sewing is taking a lot longer to do.

Well here is the Christmas jellyroll top I have just made. It still needs borders which means I will have to go fabric shopping, but I still have lots of jellyroll left for the outer border.

Woohoo I have been able to do some sewing. My daughter had helped me with the cutting, but most of it was already done for me as it was a Christmas jelly roll. With only one hand working properly, it is taking me a little longer to do things, but thats one of the things I will have to put up with because of the MS.
