Christmas plaids...

I came across the blog Quilt Times yesterday and noticed she is having a Christmas quilt along....just a bunch of people working on some Christmas projects and sharing ideas.  I decided that it seemed like a good idea to me so here it goes....

First, I had to go shopping in my stash today.  Here is my bin of reds/orange vintage shirting plaids...It probably weighs about 40 pounds....
I pulled out some reds that looked like Christmas...

Then I pulled my bin of beige/brown/greens....

I managed to find some greens...

Combined they look like this....Christmas!

Anyhow, I'm thinking of making a tree skirt using Amandajean's tutorial and a quilt...either one to hang on the wall, or a quilt for the couch.  Maybe both, who knows.  This should keep me busy through the fall....

    I just made my first Christmas Tree Skirt! There will definitely be more in my future. Very fun! I'd love to see yours in plaids.
