Christmas Fun

I've been plodding along on my Christmas Fun blocks and have now finished 3 blocks.

This is Christmas Cottage.
 

Wouldn't it be nice to live in this little house?

 
This one is called The Pudding, I was a tad disappointed that part of the vine disappeared into the seam. Hopefully it won't be too noticeable when the quilt is finished.

 
 But I do love this cute little blue bear.
 

 Here's how the 3 blocks look when joined together. Quite cute, if I say so myself.


I am trying to avoid the quilt looking too 'brown and countryish'. The Glace fabrics seem to be helping me achieve this. What do you think?

Yesterday I went to the Craft and Quilt Fair in Launceston. I will try and pop back tomorrow to show some of the goodies that found their way into my bag.

    Your blocks are lovely! I think the colours are perfect, especially the reds! Not 'country' at all!
