I hope y'all have been following along with the Austin Modern Quilt Guild's Year Long Quilt-a-long! Last weekend at the AMQG quilting retreat, I finished four blocks. And over the past week, I have finished the other eight. I just couldn't stop working on the project... hence the obsessive compulsiveness! All blocks are finished and the quilt top is DONE!
For this project, I wanted to make a Christmas quilt, with the hopes that I could give it as a holiday present in 2011. I bought a Classic Christmas Fat Quarter Bundle by Michael Miller Fabrics, which contained 12 fat quarters.
Actually, I'm glad that I finished! It allowed me to answer the question (asked at the retreat), "How much fabric should I use for the quilt-a-long?" Answer: If you have 12 fat quarters, it will be just enough!
Blocks One and Two
Blocks Three and Four
Blocks Five and Six
Blocks Seven and Eight
Blocks Nine and Ten
Blocks Eleven and Twelve

Wow!! Looks great - and it's only Feb. I'm inspired!
Dang, lady, look at you go! Are you going to bring the finished top to the March meeting?
Ann, Thanks! I was hoping to have the blocks of the month done ahead of time, to inspire folks to join along.
Meghan, Yup, I'll bring it to the March meeting. I'm hoping I have the backing done and the quilt basted by then!
When I was in Houston, I was shopping at the booths and bought some Robert Kaufman Christmas fabric. I thought it was the same line as my fabric for the BOM. Uh... no. My BOM fabric was Michael Miller! At least they all match. :)
Love your blocks. it will make a lovely Christmas quilt.
AWESOME fabric choice. The upcoming blocks are cool. Can't wait to get them done.

These look great Bobbi! I have all of my blocks finished but I want to put them into a king size quilt so I think it will be a while before my quilt is finished.
Jessica, thanks! I started the blocks at last year's February retreat. I think I'll bring this with me, to finish at this weekend's retreat. I have so many projects I want to work on this weekend... I can't wait!
