More prepping

I have been wanting to do this pattern by Heart to Hand since it was published a few years ago.   It's called "Merry Christmas Quilt".  

 A couple of years ago Karen at My Red Farmhouse offered it as a block of the month.   I was way too busy selling our house and moving to a new one to tackle the project, but I ordered the backgrounds from her in case I ever got some time to start it.  

A couple of weeks ago I decided to get busy since I was in my wool prepping "frenzy".    Yesterday I got the final block prepped and thought I'd share them with you.

These are all of the blocks.

Here they are a bit closer.

The little baggie is there holding a couple of applique pieces that will be added after the blocks are sewn together.  

I changed this block to the candy canes.   The original design has an angel.

As you can see, there's lots of stitching and embellishing to be done.  

This is what the quilt will look like when it's finished which will, hopefully, be next Christmas.  

Believe it or not...there are still more prepping projects to show you!
