ENCHANTED GARDEN FINISH AND A FRESH IDEA TO START OF THE COMING NEW YEAR

 Yes I finished Enchanted Garden and it is going off the quilter in January.  Still making some zipper pouches too. Christmas is over but Hanukkah in full swing, with four more days to go, and a new year ahead for us all.  

Enchanted Garden is finally done!  Just one more tiny chore to do on it.  A few of the vines on the ends need a bit of fabric glue to get them to stay down well.  I fuse my vines and sometimes the folded over bottoms come a bit loose.  So they need a little extra glue to keep them down. 
I saw this quilt block on a Facebook site and thought it looked interesting.  I have a drawer full of left overs and thought they might look nice in this block pattern.
I did adjust the block size and lay the four pieced block parts differently.
Selected fabrics and ran with the idea.
And row one started.  Just one more block to add to it, which will be a repeat of the first block on the left side.  The blocks will finish at 12" and I am thinking I would like to finish the quilt top at 60" by 72".  It may end up at just 60" square depending on enough of the tan fabric which I hopefully have enough for that extra row.
