Progress on the split rail Christmas quilt...

Yesterday, after I took the photo of the quilt that I'd unearthed in the craft room, I left it on the loft railing along with the flannel backing fabric instead of risking putting it back in the craft room.  Apparently, it worked.  While the first football game of the day was on, I assembled the front, batting, and backing fabric, and during ads, Geff helped me get everything down smoothly.

Then, it was time to start machine quilting.  Since I'm still relatively new to machine quilting, this is the first time that I've tried to quilt a flannel quilt.  Between the size of the quilt, the weight of the flannel, and the aching arms (from working out), I definitely am stopping for the night.  But, I'd say that I'm about a third of the way done.

The Turf Makes a Huge Difference

 I'm finally caught up on older posts.  I took this photo this morning, just after the front lawn had been put in.  I'm loving it.
