So as best as I could...
The individual Batman and Robin blocks measure up at 10", 3" of sashing and I did that reverse french seam edging so it looks like binding, sort-of, but no raw edges on the inside.
So the 'black' is Charcoal Sketch flannel, the background is Kona Aqua and the faces are some unknown off-white from a scrap bag, all from Simply Solids.
The back is a simple envelope in more of the flannel. I added fusible fleece to the back of the blocks and then top stitched to keep it from going anywhere soon; so inside looking tidy, and fancy on the outside.
The girls snuck in-progress peeks, and the consensus was that there will be a happy boy opening this up on Christmas. Result.
We had visitors and swapped pressies, ate chocolate biscuits and watched Christmas films, and I managed to get the remaining 7 table mats quilted - finishing them will be easy now after the miles of straight-lining.
My Brit Bee secret santa cushion cover arrived, (well I am assuming!), and has been popped under the tree for the big day, and hubby made an executive decision for Fish & Chips for tea. I wore my lovely Christmas jumper too, and when I took it off, *the power went off for over an hour, I am not sure what to make of that!
So that's enough excitement for today, time for a Lemsip and the last of the choccy bics; phew. xxx
Holy habedashery batman!! That rocks :-)
ReplyDeleteHoly Bat cushion! It's fantastic! My boiler broke down yesterday too - no heating or hot water! Boo! Jxo
ReplyDeleteI loved Batman, so I am glad to see he is a hit again. Your day sounds lovely. We have had sun and blue skies all day for the shortest day.
ReplyDeleteThis is such fun, I think there will be an extremely happy boy on Christmas day.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a few flickery lights here too, but there's just been a burst of raucous laughter out in the street, so someone's enjoying the wind and rain o.O
ReplyDeleteFab job on Batman and Robin anyway.
Fantastic! Chill out and bounce back for the big day :o)
ReplyDeleteWho knew the powers your stripping had!? If sweater removal=power outage, perhaps you better not take up burlesque.
