Puzzle For Santa

Puzzle For Santa

Here's another quickie Christmas table mat, made up with red, green, and gray prints.

After arranging and sewing the blocks, I added a 2” border. I quilted a straight stitch with red thread down the center of each ribbon.  The backing is a modern coordinating print. Final size is 21" square. 

This 4” Washington's Puzzle die has little pieces, but I really like it. I want to use them in a border, then try a scrappy version lap quilt. It should be fun.

Oh, and I must confess: I took advantage of the Black Friday sale and bought a few new dies. They are meant to be part of my Christmas, but I had to open and test them out, right? Just to make sure they cut properly and all. I guess I got carried away and cut a few extra sets of this one. Does that count as naughty?
