Happy Scrappy Christmas

My sister gave me a pattern for a Christmas quilt Happy Scrappy Christmas by Lucy Fazely.

I bought some fabric at JoAnn's on Black Friday that I though would look really nice.

I cut my squares and made my half aquare triangles.

I pressed all the seams open and by the time I finished that I had pretty much decided that I wasn't going to square them up.

But I changed my mind and 6 hours later I was able to sew them up. 

I sewed up the 16 blocks and layed them out to see what it was going to look like. 

I was going to wait and put it all together later but I couldn't stand it and finished it up last night. 

It was too big to get the complete picture so this will have to do for now.

I did the borders my way instead of the way the pattern called for.

I am really proud of the job I did on this one.

It pays to take your time and do it right.
