More Progress on New Quilt

Even though I scored two classes worth of sophomore essays on The Grapes of Wrath this weekend,  I was able to make some progress on my new project. There will be candy cane sashing between the blocks and around the whole four block assembly when it is complete. Beyond that I am planning a fairly wide border with twining Christmas lights in all the colors already represented in the blocks, including some of the fabric details from that ornament. The cat with trees block is still missing some embroidery and the two outside top tree trunks need blindstitching. Then the bow on the gift box is not sewn at all yet. The final block is going to be a striped cat (black on green) looking up at some mistletoe in the upper left corner, toward the center of this section. It still is pretty darned cute.
