Above is Jina Barney's quilt she showed last month with the final block design - Christmas Stockings. Jina designed the quilt for us and you can find it here. Thanks so much Jina. You've knocked it out of the park.
This is the top part of my quilt in poor lighting. But I am going to be done this week with it after I finish the 8 Christmas stocking blocks I'm currently in the middle of making. (Like I have all the time in the world. I should be Christmas sewing!!)
These 2 blocks are finished. I have the toes and heels appliqued on the stockings and I added some trim to the top. As you can tell I am using some of my Monica Holiday Happy fabric. Look at the cute little Christmas gnome on the toe.
These 2 blocks are ready for me to applique the toes and heels on them. Yes. I'm needle turning them. I know there are faster ways a couple weeks before Christmas but I can't change how I've been making this quilt at this stage of the game.
The red check stocking is nearly ready for the toe/heel. Love my Holiday Happy fabric with this quilt. The colors are perfect since there really isn't green in this quilt at all. I stayed with yellow, blue and red (oh, and pink).
More Holiday Happy and a little Riley Blake stripe thrown in just because it was on my cutting table while I am finishing up my crown quilt. And besides, it goes really well with everything else.Have I mentioned I am so not ready for Christmas? Yipes.

That is just adorable! I love the fabrics you used.
What a happy, happy quilt you are turning out there, Nanette! I think that is more your trademark than anything - your work is happy. It makes me smile. Smiling is good!
The stockings are just so cute! What a fun quilt.
This quilt is so cute. It must have been a joy to make!
That quilt is going to be so cute! I was hoping to finish my Christmas Cottage quilt made from you pattern and it's still on my "to do" pile. My tree is up and I'm getting there. I should be ready for Christmas by Nov of 2011. :-)
LOVE IT!! I believe this is just about my favorite one you guys have done!! HURRY...get 'er done!!
Just loving this quilt! It's so fun that you all are working on them together... yet each will be so different!
The gnomes on the toes are the cutest thing EVER!! You continue to amaze me with your fussy cutting ideas.
Really fun Nanette!....I think that Monica's fabric is just perfect for the stockings...and of course the toes!

Nanette, so cute. I love all the stockings and your fabrics are gorgeous.
It is so so cute Nanette! It will be a favorite heirloom I'm sure!
I love Holiday Happy too! The socks are so cute.
I'm not ready for Christmas either...some decorating has happened but no tree yet. But we will get some shopping out of the way this weekend. Whew!
May I ask --- were the flowers in the row above the stockings free pieced, or paper pieced? I really like the style!
The stockings are so cute with the fun fabrics you are using, Nanette! It is a very happy cheerful quilt.
CUTE! What a fun quilt!
I love this quilt! The stocking blocks are the cutest! Will these patterns be available online anywhere?
I love all of the different squares. Great color choices.
