December 2012 NewFOs

I'm linking up to the final 2012 NewFo over at Cat Patches!

 

Here are the things I started (and even finished [one]!):

 

First are 1/2 sized sample blocks that I made for Walter & Judy's quilt.  I put 'em together & sent it up to them to see how it might look - and to use as a place mat for their cat Elizabeth's dishes.

 

I decided that the coins need to be wider,
with narrower borders around them.
But that's the whole point of samples, right?
 

I had fun trying out some FMQ while I was at it too.

 

 

Next is a block I made just because I felt like sewing

SOMETHING!

 

I just kept pulling scraps out of my bag

& sewing them together a la 15 Minutes Play.

 

 

And finally, I wanted to make some

Criss Cross coasters for a friend of mine.

I decided to make half of them straight & half diagonal.

They should be finished today.

 

Started with 48 4.5" squares,



Then lots of ironing & more pinning than I usually ever do.

So that's that!

Onward to 2013!!

 

Happy New Year!
