I began sewing little Saffiote blocks from 301 Country Christmas Quilt Blocks, a few months ago. They are very primitive and so cute! Paula at A Latte Quilts showed a project she just completed from the same book. Hers is really adorable! By the way, isn't that the cutest blog name?
I have yet to compile my blocks into a quilt. I still want to do that, but need to make more blocks. In the meantime, I made three of this block, because I thought it was so cute (pg. 71 if you have the book). It is one of Cheri's "create it" blocks, where she just puts in a picture of the block as she made it and then you make your own version. I have this flag fabric from years ago and I keep cutting out little American flags for various projects. I added the border and stitched the words, and with a minimum of quilting, it is now a gift to share at the LQS Christmas party tomorrow night. Or maybe I will keep it. I can't decide. VBG! What would you do? (Yeah, I'll probably give it. Sigh.)

Oh my goodness, Marcie, that is just the most adorable 'little quilt' yet!!! Your tree looks like it has snowflakes falling on it!! Just ADORABLE!! (Of course, give it away...to ME ROFL) Nah, just kiddin'...but....guess you know that if I were as nice as you, I would give it to someone at the LQS---but since I'm NOT that nice, I would keept it, if I were you!!! *giggling*
That is my all time favorite book . . . I just love to go over and over and over the pages *s*
I would suggest you just mail it off to me, your best friend in California! ROFLOL! How darling, Marcie! Nice job!
AHEM - I'm thinking you should just ignore the others and send it to ME.
It's darling, Marcie! As fast as you are you can whip up another one in no time. Whip up two more - keep one and send one to me (I won't tell Angie and Kim) :-)
That is just adorable, and I know it has to be tempting to keep it!
