The Nativityquilt - so far

It's Sunday-evening and after a busy but nice weekend I'm glad to show you a picture of the Nativityquilt so far. Yes, the camel is finished!

The left side with the shepherd and sheep looks a bit messy, but that's because I used a few pins, the parts are not sewed together yet. Next step is the missing sheep, so I can finish the whole left part.

It's still a quite exciting project, I'm looking forward to make that sheep!

only 4 months...

... before it's christmas! Time to go back to business: the Nativity quilt. But oh dear oh dear I really had to find some courage to start. But after a little while I sorted things out like this:

Before the summer I started with the king and his camel (optimistically I posted Back on track - but it seemed to be a very short track I was back on!) It was a big block with a king (finished) and his camel (paper coloured - okay it's a start). And although my plans were bigger than this, I'm glad I made a new little step in this christmasproject:

So the camel is growing, and I left every piece of fabric at my desk so I can start as soon as I find som time to give this animal a pair of legs!

As you can see, my china cabinet is still there, waiting for a finishing touch.

Have a nice day!

Nativity-quilt: an overview so far (1)

I know there are groups of quilting lady's (I don't know any quilting man, do you?) who make mistery quilts. Every week or month you make a block, without knowing what the complete picture of all the blocks is. Well, that's not my style! I wanna know what I'm working on! So today I made the first picture of the Nativity blocks in there righ places. I made 5 blocks sofar:

The fun thing about making this quilt is that I don't choose the parts I make, I just follow the numbers of the blocks. So everytime it's a surprise what's it gonna be.

To be continued, 20 blocks to go....

Have a nice day!
