Blocks 2 and 3 of Amy's BOM are done now, whoopie I'm not lagging yet.
My fabric came yesterday for the sashing (the black and gold in the bottom right of the last photo) and the backing of my Iowa Christmas. I love it all. I hate it when people like the backs better than the fronts of my quilts, and this one is for me, but I hope that I can resist liking the back at least as well as the front. I got a yard of each, and am going to cut them into fat quarters and sew them together for the back. I wish that I had had the gold in the top right to use as the gold in my Iowa (Carolina) Christmas. I wasn't happy with my gold to start with, and still am not, although it will be ok just doesn't show up much.

You're way ahead of me. I'd love to do Amy's blocks, but I don't have enough of any one background fabric, so I'll have to wait until I can get to the quilt shop. With the snow that's forecast that might be a while yet.
Your off to a great start for the year too Candace..Love the blocks.

I love the gold background fabric you are using! Way to finish them off!
And the eye-candy fabrics are fun to look at!!!
Your BOM's look great. It is only the 5th and you are already up to date. You may have motivated me to go and get something done.
Happy New Year Candace, thank you for the link with the BOM....I hope to make them as well.....love your Christmas fabrics...Warm Regards Lyn

Great job on the BOM's! You are fast!
good on you for keeping up with your blocks.........
Your blocks are great...I love your background fabric. I'm looking forward to seeing your blocks each month. I'm using reds and blues from stash but being safe with my background of white on white. I am enjoying the blocks alot. Hugs, Linda
Just had to say I did the Amy's Passions blocks (most of them...lost motivation at the end when they got complicated!) and have made one QOV from them and still need to do one block and sash up the rest for my nephew..your blocks look great!
