WIP Wednesday

Hi all
I did what I set out to do! and that was to put my 2 quilt tops together, Now, all have to do is start quilting. But, first I have to get inspired. The way I see it is Christmas is a few months away. So, from here to Christmas I'm sure I'll get inspired.   Here is a picture of the 2 quilt tops I've put together.  
Postage Stamp Quilt

 Rachel Griffin Christmas Quilt





also, I finish my afghan.  I love to read so I made this afghan with the idea of sitting in my nice comfortable chair, with the afghan over me drink hot chocolate. I'm so excited about winter specially when it's snowing outside and you are stuck at home.  Curling up, with a good book and watching the snow fall.
Come On Winter:)



 Also, I'm very excited about joining Esther's  BOM group. I love the color red and I just love the pattern she has picked out.
I have a lot of red fabric, for some reason every time I'm in a quilt shop and I see red fabric I just have to get it.  I'm actually going to be using a cream color instead of white. The cream color goes perfect with the red fabric I've chosen for this quilt.. 
I actually had these fabrics picked out for a wedding ring quilt I was thinking of making. Instead, I decided to use these fabrics for Esther's BOM quilt.
Oh well, that means I'm just going to have to go shopping again for more Red fabric;) 
For all you bloggers out there joining Esther BOM I wish you the best of luck I know I'm going to needed since this will be my first time doing anything like this. I hope I can keep up.
I hope to post some of my progress posted next week, by the way I have the MOST perfect husband in the world he printed the instruction for me in color. It looks great it's like a book! lol
