Two In Red... One in Yellow... One in Dark Green... & Three in Brown.
That makes 28 blocks of 35 finished.

As previously mentioned, I purchased the Harvest Moon kit in 2012 but after positioning it on my "design wall"... I decided that it just wasn't doing it for me. So I changed the layout slightly, made it smaller... & now it's become a 46in x 68in charity quilt. Obviously my taste has changed quite considerably since 2012.I'll hand this flimsy to our guild, with the backing fabric & binding... for quilting.

The project I worked next on was my Christmas Tree Skirt...
The second "block" BLITZeN, has been fully appliqued & embroidered & also sewn to the adjacent block. I also finished the embroidery between the 2 blocks that joins the train together .
I decided to complete the next block "#3" - DoNNeR - too.
So now blocks 1-3 have been completed... & I'm LoVinG the look of it so far...

I always enjoy seeing these string blocks come together.They look great.
And that is very smart think to change the quilt layout. Using it as a donation is so sensible when tastes change. Someone else will really love it.
Your tree skirt panel are totally gorgeous. lovely work.
Pretty coloured string blocks. Your tree skirt is coming together beautifully.

The christmas tree skirt looks fabulous!!! Love it!! What a joyful thing to come back to blogland after a number of months and see
Your string blocks will make a great community quilt and when Harvest Moon is completed will be loved by someone...
The sections of the christmas skirt is looking fabulous.
Your strip blocks are so pretty. I have the papers to make a strip quilt, just need to prep some fabric. I like how you re-set the Harvest Moon layout. I have an older UFO kit that no longer fits my taste but I hate to discard it. I like the idea of making it into a charity quilt. Thanks for the inspiration.
I always love string blocks and you've got a great assortment of pretty fabrics. That Christmas Tree Skirt is ADORABLE!!! Is it a pattern or are you creating it?
The blocks are fabulous but the greens are my fave :) The tree skirt is adorable. Is it a kit or pattern or an original ?
I love that tree skirt. Now that is a project worth doing! As for the quilt. Yep - just best to move on once you are over it. :-)
You are making great progress with your projects.
This is going to be such a fun tree skirt. Christmas will be here before we know it.
I love your Harvest Moon!! Beautiful blocks, the string ones, and the Christmas ones too, cute and funny ;)
My goodness, aren’t your string blocks pretty! My scraps are all jumbled up in a mess, but your blocks just might inspire me to take some much needed time to sort by color and clean up my act! I’m just loving those tree skirt panels. Such a creative idea!
They look great, love the colours.
