I've been a busy little Christmas elf this weekend. While I had grand plans to use my elfishness to get my house ready for Christmas, I instead got a couple of gifts to a more ready status instead -- I got the second of the two Christmas Tree quilt tops finished. Plus, I pieced the backs for both quilts, and made both sets of binding! What the hell, right?!?

| This is the second of the two quilt tops - its pretty close to the first one. I used the same fabric collection but just used different individual fabrics than the other. |

| Completed binding for both quilt tops. I roll them onto cardboard rolls to keep them from getting tangled, stretched, and otherwise disorganized. |

And here it is - this is the pile of two pieced backings, two quilt tops, and both sets of binding.

My aim is to take this into the school with a big ol' bottle of 505 at some point this week. I like using the floor of the atrium (which is a GINORMOUS open space) to lay it down flat and baste it. Its a lot easier than re-arranging my furniture so I can create a space large enough to baste it at home.
Now my back is sore so I'm gonna console myself by making a delicious peppermint mocha.
