Squirrel Alert!
Carole, at From My Carolina Home, is hosting a fun event on her blog - Christmas in July.
One of the projects is a tabletopper that I couldn't resist working on. It just needs three fabrics - a white background, a gold, and an accent fabric. I was lucky to find what I needed in my stash. Both the gold with leaves and the green holly with red berries have a little sparkle to them, so that's kind of fun, too!
I started with the bell blocks - four are needed, so far I've made two.
These remind me of the handbells I played at church
years ago as a member of the bell choir!
One star block was needed, and it went together quickly.
You can see Carole's finishing instructions here - I still need two more bell blocks, and they're in pieces and parts at this point.
I like how these are looking together! Once I finish up the last two bells, it shouldn't take too long to get them into a top.
A quilter's got to have a squirrel project now and then, right?!

Aaw these blocks are adorable, Diann. Thank you so much for sharing about Carole's Christmas in July project. This looks like a lot of fun.
What a cute project! I love Christmas in July, and bells are a great and different idea. Your fabrics are beautiful.
How cool you played handbells - I used to love watching our handbell choirs and listening to them. Did you play the small ones for high notes or the big heavy ones for low tones?
This was a holiday squirrel that popped into your sewing room! Our DIL plays hand bells.
More squirrels coming! Clear the decks for two weeks!!
