Welcome to Day 5!
Thanks to Cynthia Holman, Bonnie Slanker Wilson, Rita Gastaldo Herzberger, Janet Baker Smith & Nicole Sender for sewing & sharing their first 3 Days of Christmas sewing with us on my Sewing With Susan FB group. They will each receive a free Suzn Quilts PDF pattern of their choice! (Even more blocks were shared yesterday!)
The steps have all been quick & easy, haven’t they?
Today is more of the same.
It’s time to sew together the units you’ve made so far & sew the inner border on too.
Do you ever struggle with fabric choices?
Sometimes I do…
Would you like to see some of them & how I conquered the fabric fear?
I started by wondering if I could piece a wool tree with my Mini Tree template set & guess what?
YES, I CAN!
AND DID!
But I really wanted to use these pretty Christmas doodads & the doodads didn’t show up on the green wool I’d chosen.
The cute doodads can be found here on my website.
So, I decided to change out my tree fabric.
Keep in mind this was December 18th. I needed to be shopping, wrapping, cleaning…
Ahh, much better! And the inner border was a no-brainer…
Then the outer border… a snap!
But then my flying geese were looking too much like a tree
& I only wanted 1 tree…
Much better with the Tilda red polka dots in the corner! & by turning some of the flying geese, it made a home for the little “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” plaque.
You can find them here on my website.
This was what my brain wanted!
Sorry for that tiny glimpse inside my head…
I really like how it turned out.
Again, no templates on this PDF today, so no worries on print scale.

Just Keep Sewing…
