I am using a "Winterberry" charm pack for the 4.5" squares and some 2.5" squares with the remaining squares and applique from my stash. Instead of red/green I've been wanting to work using blues in a Christmas quilt and found a lovely blue/gold for the sashings and have gone with a pale blue base fabric for the blocks.
Doing "scrappy" is something I struggle with and need to have some control over fabric placement ... so ... prep, prep, prep. All the 2.5" squares and 4.5" squares are cut and layed out ... ready for sewing.
I also need a bit more of the blue/gold for sashings. My apologies for not following the plan exactly but I will start on the stocking shortly .... promise.

Narelle - this is lovely - we all need to work in our own way - and what suits us - so just go for it! Love the touches of blue.
WOW! You are really getting organised. Well done Narelle.
Good on you Narelle for making such a poisitive start! I agree, we all need to work in the way that suits us best :-)
It's looking lovely especially with the blue. Working with scraps or my stash is quite challenging for me too. I guess that why the stash doesn't diminish; I keep buying more!
