FMQ Ideas for A Very Merry

Even with the upcoming holiday, I managed to find

the time to get the applique on A Very Merry.

 What do you think?  Don't the poinsettias just set it off?

I might be ready to make another in blues/greens!

Maybe the poinsettia fabric should be tad darker but,

really, it was the best choice and I'm happy.

I plan on using this red for the binding as well.

I also pieced together a backing that would do

my thriftiest quilting ancestors proud.

Used up most of the scraps and then some!

It's layered and basted and is now sitting on

my sewing machine just waiting for some time and

just the right FMQ idea.  I think I'll do some

inside-shadowing on the petals but the rest of the quilt

has me stumped.  Tomorrow I'll do some surfing

for ideas while waiting on the turkey to cook.

Thanksgiving blessings to you and your families!
