Well, what do you do when something just isn't working in a project? Buy more fabric, of course! Now that sounds bad. I didn't buy much. Just a little. And I wanted to pull in one of the colors from the polka dot fabric so I came up with Kona in Jade. I really balked at this initially because I only had the polka dot fabric with me at the time and I didn't want the piece to be overwhelmed by green, but then I realized that the green I already had was more of a lime green, so the jade almost comes across as more of a blue based color which is what I wanted. Then I got home and the same color occurs in both of the limey green fabrics as well. So, go me!
So let's see what we've got going on. Vertical strips of the fabric...
small blocks with white strips on either side...
some 9 patch blocks...
some mittens and mugs fabric and the Kona Jade.
I do not plan on using a lot of jade in the design itself. I just needed something to tie it all together and so I'm just going to use thin lines of it in different places. Now to get downstairs and get it done!

:) This is going to be a fun one it seems. Christmas fabric makes me happy. Anytime of the year.

Those fabrics looks so cheerful! I really like the mugs--they remind me of a Michael Miller fabric I've been coveting that have mittens with hearts on them. Wish it were in the budget:)
