Christmas Convergence

My Christmas Quilting!! (Or at least, the one that actually got finished.) I started this one on the 23rd, when it occurred to me we were going to Winnipeg to spend Christmas Day with my husband's family, and although we don't do gifts, it felt churlish to arrive empty handed. When in doubt, quilt. When in need of something (very) soon, quilt simple. Convergence it is. Cut, sew. Cut again, sew again. Border. Sandwich. Quilt. Don's mom is thrilled. I was pleased that I finished it - the two hour drive from Brandon to Winnipeg helped, although by the time we got into the city, I was thoroughly tired of hand-sewing while moving. What I'm not pleased about? The fabrics started in the wrong place. I broke my own cardinal rule for convergence quilts, which is don't put two similar fabrics beside each other. The dark green and the dark blue really want to start from opposite corners. However, as my friend Shirley would say, "Done is better than perfect." Amen.
