My first Quilt a Long!

Does that sound somewhat childish?! It makes me think of My Little Pony for some reason...

I'm joining in with Blossom Heart Quilt's Very Merry HST BOF here

The first block is designed to look like tinsel hanging off a tree, here's my attempt:

I'm using two charm packs of Joy by Kate Spain, from Hulu Crafts, I was really impressed with the speed at which they posted out the fabric.

I'm hoping to make these into table runners for Christmas for our mums, fingers crossed they turn out well enough!

Here's my first block, it's not 100% right as I got the rows in the wrong order, but I'm down to my last inch or so of white thread so it'll do :D
