The Never Ending Christmas Quilt ~ Progress

 I've been working on this Christmas Block of the Month quilt periodically for years.  It's safe to say it's not going to be finished for Christmas 2020.  But, I did cut out and prep a few more blocks this week.  It's been so long I had to go looking for the fabric, because I did not keep it in the box with the project.  What was I thinking?  I found it quickly, then decided not to use it anyway.  I had a nice stack of coordinating Laura Heine prints that matched well, and I was inspired to cut into them.

 Many of the block kits I cut out were fusible applique.  Sunrise was eager to help.

 Fused pieces for a Christmas bells and Holly block.

 I cut out the pieces for the Pieced Pine Tree Block.

Here's a few more tiny pieces for another fusible applique block.  I only have a few more blocks to cut and prep, and about half of the blocks are already sewn.  What a work in progress (WIP)!  What's your longest work in progress?  Do you think you will ever finish?  Leave me a comment below.

Ohio Star UFO Quilt Project

 A crazy thing happened in my quilting life recently.  I caught up and finished all of my deadline projects.  I can't remember that ever happening before.  It was both freeing and scary at the same time.  With a lack of anything I had to do, I pulled a random UFO box off the shelf to see what was inside.  This box was full of solid colored triangles in a variety of colors, plus lots of black triangles and squares.

 This project is so very old I don't have a drawn out plan for it any more.  I sort of remembered what I was trying to accomplish, but it was no longer what I wanted to do.

 I laid all my pieces out so I could get an inventory of exactly what I had to work with.  Then I "GASP!" threw some of the pieces away!  Do you see that light blue fabric?  It's very thin and flimsy.  I trashed it.

 I decided to mix up the remaining colorful triangles and randomly sew them to the black triangles.

 I sewed them all together into Ohio Star blocks.  This one is just black and blue, but most of them are multi colored.

I like this one ~ purples and pinks together.  
Three of the blocks have a black center square, so they look like they have a large black diamond in the center.  This is the blocks all sewn together into the quilt top.  Now I'm trying to decide how to quilt it.  I've been thinking about a new idea for an allover design I want to try with swirls and pebbles, but I'm not sure if that is right for this quilt.  Do you have any quilting suggestions?  Please leave me a comment below.
