Advent Quilt Part 1 of 3

1-001

A few days ago I finished up the first of three Advent quilts I plan to gift to my daughters on December 1st to make the holiday even more special.  I found the Sheri Berri panel on Ebay and bought three of them because as soon as I saw the fabric, I knew I had to make each girl her own.

The quilt measures 36” x 54” which is a pretty respectable size for girls ages 6, 4, and not quite 2 yet.  I am envisioning us all snuggled up on the couch under our Christmas quilts watching a holiday movie together!

The back is flannel from Joanns.  I am heading there tomorrow to pick up two other prints for the backs of the other quilts so the girls can tell them apart.  Joanns flannel is on sale for $2.99 a yard plus there’s a 25% off coupon out there.  Same with rotary blades—a 5 pack is only $16.99 and you can use the 25% off coupon for those too.  I love these deal days because now I never need an excuse not to change my rotary cutter blade.

Here’s the progress I’ve made on the Scrappy Stash Along so far.  16 blocks and much much neater scraps.  Joy!

Have a quilty weekend!  Linking up to Finish It Up Friday on Charm About You.
