JULY CHRISTMAS QUILT-ALONG

It's the second Saturday in July.  Time for this month's Christmas Quilt-Along.  This time round I am not doing a specific Christmas design quilt.  I am working on a queen size quilt that will potentially be a Christmas gift.  It is a lighter quilt than I normally do.  A somewhat pastel look but more to the darker side of pastel.  Here are the fabrics I cut with the exception of the lighter tone on tone polka dot I chose for background.

The quilt pattern I am using is called "Monet Wedding Ring" and is in a book by Judy Martin titled "Scraps".  The one I am making is shown on the cover on the upper left side.

I spent parts of three days this past week cutting out parts for the blocks and then finished the last of the background fabric cutting this morning.  The design is formed with two different pieced blocks and one plain background block.  I made a sample this morning of each of the pieced blocks and am showing you those now.

It doesn't look like much yet but at least I am sure the parts are cut to the correct size.  Now I can start zipping them through the sewing machine.

Back later with my progress.
