Christmas Quilt-a-long - August

I have now started sewing the little table runner together. Since the challenge was to have an overall perimeter of 96 inches, I had to leave out a couple of the presents. For those of you just tuning in, the pattern is this one.

Here's the first present. I don't know exactly where I will place it but I suppose I can audition placement once the other presents are made. There's a bit of applique that I need to do before this is really complete.

So, I'm linking up with Joanne this month. Pop on over to see what the other participants of this Christmas sew along are making.

  2. That outside limit of 96 inches does make a difference. I have to read the challenge again and get serious about what I'm going to make. Your gift quilt looks like it will be fun. Thanks for joining in.
