Not quite sure what i was thinking when i decided

Not quite sure what i was thinking when i decided to make this. It is possibly the most difficult quilt i have ever planned and cut. Or it could just be that i am overthinking it. But of all the quilts i have made, this is the one i hope my family will cherish since Christmas is such a huge and exciting part of our family traditions. I asked my husband and our 3 grown kids to each select some words of what xmas means to them. Of course Pauls all revolves around food.😳 i am mostly using the Naughty or Nice collection by #basicgrey with a few odd bits by #sweetwaterfabric and some other #moda scraps i have around. Anyway, i am trying to get this cut to take on my May retreat, but it is looking like i may not have it all ready to sew by then. Especially since i keep making changes! Wish me luck!

Words. They can bring life or be humanity's downfall.⁠
Here is trustworthy filter from Philippians 4:8:⁠
Is it true? Is it noble? Does it promote fairness and justice? Is it a lovely thought? Is it worth repeating? ⁠

Front of a quilt I'm gifting to my smart and talented niece for her graduation. I used an orphan block and (sort of) surrounded it with #logcabinblock type strips.⁠
