Last week I had a chance to work on my Smart Phone quilt since I got through Step 3 so quickly. Here is Netflix:
Now I'm going on a mini-Christmas rant. I know I'm probably one of a very few people that this bothers because I haven't seen any mention of it elsewhere on the internet. People: twelve days of Christmas aren't a countdown that happens before Christmas. Please don't confuse the 12 days of Christmas with a mini-Advent calendar! The twelve days of Christmas happen between Christmas and Epiphany, not before Christmas. Quilt shops seem to be especially vulnerable to this fallacy. I know of at least 5 of them celebrating before Christmas with their twelve days of Christmas sales. It also bothers me that the phrase 'twelve days of Christmas' is being used commercially, but that is another rant.

Oh my, your units are gorgeous. I love your variety of neutrals.
I never really knew when the 12 days of Christmas were meant to be, or why there were 12 days at all, so I don't mind you correcting matters.
Everyone makes Christmas commercial now, instead of remembering WHY we celebrate Christmas. NO Happy Holidays, it's MERRY CHRISTMAS! and NO X-mas, since that cuts Christ out of Christmas (Happy Birthday Christ). Now we've both done our rants. Merry Christmas. Hope the day goes as well as it can, for you this year.
And in my family, you weren't allowed to say "merry Christmas" because that implied people were getting drunk. We had to say "happy Christmas". Everyone has their own pet peeves.
Love the variety in your mystery fabrics!
I continue to admire your colour selection for this quilt. As for the rant, it's reasonable and therefore not a rant.
Lovely units. Happy Holidays!
