Procrastination...

Next to Procrastination in the dictionary you will find a picture of me!

I had told Greg that I could quilt up the blue and cream log cabin quilt for my FIL for Christmas.


Well, it is December 23 and I just pinned it this morning! Yup, nothing like waiting until the last minute. I'll pop through the shower and then quickly (I hope) will just do some simple walking foot quilting on this baby. If time, I'll cut, sew and press the binding for it too - I know I have enough of that blue in the border for it. That might have to wait until later to get put onto the quilt...as we are headed to Grandma and Papa Andy's today for their early Christmas and Birthday (Papa Andy's birthday is on Christmas day!). I hope to be hand stitching down some binding tonight and tomorrow night on this one so it can get wrapped for Christmas morning with Papa Aylward.

Linking up with the RSC Challenge.

This is where Chilly landed this morning.

Good luck finishing! Sounds like you'll have tomorrow to sew on the binding. I love those elves and all the creative places people think to put them!

I know what you mean about saving things to the last minute....I was sewing binding last night, this morning and I will also tonight. I am doing a lot of prep work today for our dinner tomorrow night. Running out of time.....

Apparently, your elf needed a caffeine fix!! You will be right there with him with your last minute gift. Happy (speedy) finishing!!!

Good luck with your Christmas challenge! I'm sure the quilt will be loved and appreciated whether it arrives for Christmas day or not!

Some people work best under a little pressure. I'm not one of them. Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas!
