Not quilt related but, a few weeks ago we had a big killing freeze coming, so I went out and picked all the mint that was easy to pic (long stemy stuff) I got 2 wally world sacs full. I pureed them w/ water in the blender and set the juice in the fridge for a few weeks to meld, steep, infuse whatever you want to call it. Today I have 2.5 gallons of prewine (mint) and a cookie sheet full of mint "cookies" for the rabbits.

Terriamn,
Yes. I had 2 1/2 yards of the WOW/Snowflake....so I had to hunt down additional yardage....which I found in various places. Some cuts were 1-2 yards remaining on bolt. So I cut what I had as close to an F8 as possible and sent to everyone with my Boom fabric. I now am the proud owner of nearly 12 yards of "Kate Spain for Moda, Joy Collection"! I originally was going to use it on the back, but I have opted for warm-white, 200 thread count muslin.
You have a beautiful idea there with the fabrics you have chosen. Sending everyone 2 fabrics to make one block is not a problem for mailing (they still fit nicely in the padded envelope). I wrapped them together! I was concerned that it would limit creativity, however just the opposite. The blocks are really nice together!. And I did not want them to return the WOW, even if they did not choose to use it. Everybody needs a little piece of White on Ivory Snowflake fabric.
This will be a special quilt for me...so I didn't mind the fabric. And I cannot say enough about how wonderful it turned out!
Now if I can get it done before Christmas Eve!

Beautiful Christmas Quilt, was thinking of that this time but just received some beautiful coordinating fabrics I think I will use for the three month group. Beebetty when you sent the snowflake fabric did you send a fill fat 1/8 th. Think the would work perfect for these fabrics and they are pastels, something totally out of the box for me. Will send picture as soon as I take it

Woke up this morning to rain. I mean monsoon type rain! It NEVER rains in Arizona in December! BEWARE, it doesn't matter where you are east of me . . . it's on its way to you and I'm betting it won't be rain. Time to go to the grocery store and get milk and bread.
