New redwork

Did I tell you that I signed up for a Christmas themed block swap?  I need to get 6 blocks (12 1/2") done by Thanksgiving.  If I want to do a round two then it is early December for another set of 6.  It is being done by one of my facebook groups.  I will do at least the first six.  Knowing me it will be applique but then I thought why not redwork.  I asked the group if anybody likes redwork because I'm not doing the work if nobody likes it and there was one response in the affirmative (no negative) so I will make at least one block redwork.  This is the design that I'm thinking of.



The other blocks will be some of Fat Cat Patterns (free ones) which show a Mr. Snowman, Mrs. Snowman and a cute Santa Claus.  A roly poly santa.  :)

What do you think?

THat's a beautiful block, Bonni. It would be very useful in a swap, it could be a center square focus if there weren't enough other redwork to complete a project.

Thanks Kat. I am looking forward to doing it. I still have a couple of the applique angel blocks to finish but by the weekend if not sooner I should be able to start on it.
