I’m on the home stretch. This is PhD Number 3 done. One more to go. Oh what a feeling! I’m hoping that one will be finished in a few weeks.
I started this Christmas Quilt in August 2010 and it sat idle after I decided I didn’t really love it about 10 minutes after I put the top together. On reflection the sashing fabric is too dotty for the Christmas prints but I was too lazy to unpick it and sash it with something more suitable. Sometimes it's enough to get the monkey off your back .
And as if this quilt knew I didn’t love it to bits it decided to give me no end of trouble with quilting it. But it’s done! Since there isn’t a lot of call for Christmas quilts in Australia at Christmas because it’s our summer this is going to be a dog blanket for Indy and Lola’s bed in December.
Roll on PhD finish Number 4! The end is in sight! Then I can start a load of new projects with impunity!

Wow, #3 done! Congratulations!
Only one to go!! That is so great. Congratulations on your finish.
A dog blanket? Those are some lucky dogs! I think it turned out great. Way to go finishing this quilt!
I am glad I am not the only one who thinks something will go together and then realize - oh, that is not what I thought would happen, uh, yuck!
But like you, I finished it anyway - but no, mine is not going to be a dog bed!! But, you have given me pause for thought..... why not make a dog quilt for christmas for the mutt??? It would be festive and happy - AND, I could use in the car if need be....... hmmmmm, another project idea! That is something I didn't need!!! Thanks Shay!!!! ;-)
Lucky dogs!! very nice. one more to go!
Love how bright and happy this one is! Congrats on finishing it.
