It's been a busy week but, I did get some sewing in on my Santa wall hanging. Just about done with the FMQ and on to binding. I did a holly leaf design in the outside border that I found inspiration from the Free Motion Quilting Project " prickly holly". I did it in more of a vine pattern with the holly branching off from it. I will say those leaves were a bit hard but by the time I got around the the whole border it looked pretty good. You can see on the bottom right that I have not stitched down the binding.It will be 1/4 inch. 
Can't forget Reindeer need red button noses, well one gets red, there is only 1 Rudolf!!
Now on to the UFO's....not that I want to add to them but BUT, I have this little wall hanging that I finished a couple of years ago and I REALLY love it but, was not great at FMQing, I never put anything in the sashing or borders. Here are pictures.....I would love to hear some ideas for around the flowers and borders. Do I treat the 2 white and 1 color as all one border or do I quilt each strip with it's own pattern? The colored borders around the flower vases are empty also, it's just asking for more.....
.
I just did stippling around all the flowers and stitch in the ditch everywhere else....
This is my favorite block, I love the vase fabric...It was a fat quarter from Joann's I think and I horded the scraps...
So now that the Santa quilt is out of the machine I am ready to do some FMQing to this previously finished quilt. Love to hear your comments.....Kristin
