Center panel.....

I finished pressing the seams on the triangle squares and designed the center panel for this flannel quilt.  I thought about doing a zig zag but I really like this simple layout.  Today I will piece the piano key border fabric and decide what fabric will be the first border.                               I made 2 batches of Chex mix and delivered some Christmas gifts yesterday, 2 of them mug rugs chosen by the recipient.  I still have a little more baking to do.  The house is clean and the party isn't at my house so I'm all set there.  Counting down, just a few more days.....

I'm up to 2 mug rugs now. I also made nuts and bolts for a couple of gifts.
I am sort of dreading my Christmas dinner--the count is up to 17! I have such a small house. It's more the crowd that bothers that the actual meal because everyone is helping out.

The flannel squares turned out so nice :D Thanks for reminding me of the Chex Mix. I completely forgot to buy the ingredients!

I'm amazed at how quickly you've got the centre ready! I have to go to the store today to pick up the ingredients to do some baking on Saturday.

Great quilt and I have some of that flannel I've been saving! Great inspiration:) I've seen very little flannel I liked this year with prints.

Love it... I can just visualize the piano key border. Another great looking quilt in the works.

I thought I was done until this last phone call that came. Oh ~~~~ the holiday business.

An artistic beauty again. I like the simplicity of this arrangement. I can't spot a flannel anymore. It used to be pretty easy.
Sounds like you couldn't be any more prepared for Christmas Day. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.

I like that simple arrangement of lights and darks.

Very pretty. You remind me that I have some flannel blocks-in-waiting nagging at me from the cabinet. I really like how you've done yours. It's definitely the right weather for flannel!

I would love to wrap up in the flannel quilt this morning. The house is cold from me turning down the furnace at night. You seem to be all ready for the holiday. I have one more gift to wrap and then I am through,. Hurrah!!! Have a nice day
