Back in 2016, I purchased this kit as a BOM from Puddleducks Quilts - Friends For Christmas is a gorgeous Christmas quilt, designed by Lynette Anderson Designs. Each month I receiced a pattern along wit a selection of fabrics, which was carefully packed away as I had lots of other projects that took priority. A couple of weeks ago I decided it was time to make a start! I'm using the Apliquick method of applique for this project - the original instructions are for using the fusible webbing method, but you could use whatever method you prefer. I've also added a few of my own fabrics, such as the rust coloured brushed cotton that I've used for the frayed "patch" that has an appliqued star on it...

...the first block showcases this super Santa flying through the sky - he really is rather handsome, although his curly beard and moustache were a bit tricky to make! The buttons for his buckle and his eyes, which were all from my button tin, will be added once the quilt is completed...

...it isn't easy photographing a block that is 42" long, so this will have to do for now. Hopefully it won't take me quite so long to make the next block!
