tis the season

saw these in a magazine recently and just had to make some up.  they are just so darn cute!  though one could hardly call making them busting stash, they will look so good on a fresh, green, maine balsam tree i think, don't you?  other patterns provided were an ohio star and a pineapple block.  they didn't take too much time--paper pieced--but are a bit fussy as i hand sewed the binding down; short, chunky fingers you know.  oh, and on the cover of that magazine?  a luscious scrappy quilt that uses 2.5" squares.  hmmm, i think i have some of those lying around.

  2. Very festive for a fresh tree--better than candy canes, I think! : )
