This pattern called for piecing an American flag as the centre portion but I knew from the start I wasn’t going to do it that way. Since my Christmas fabric was already scattered about I decided to go with a Christmas theme. Sadly it used very little of my Christmas fabric.

Had I been thinking I could have made it slightly larger with a couple of solid borders and it would have been a good size for a placemat. Since I didn’t think of that until it was too late I have found a place for it on the wall up the stairs. I guess it is the start of my Christmas decorating.
