Design Wall Monday ~ Christmas in February?

Hello, I hope you're not tired of Christmas blocks! One of my quilting goals is to make at least one block per month for my Christmas Sampler quilt. Here's a little mitten block I made this weekend:
I got the idea from Lori Holt over at Bee in my Bonnet. This is such a cute block, I may need to make some more pairs of mittens for this quilt, using different fabrics. Who knows, maybe I'll make 5 pairs, since there are 5 people in my family? At this point, the block will finish at 9 X 6 inches, but I might add some Kona snow borders to enlarge it. It will all depend on what size I need when it comes time to put my "jigsaw puzzle" of a quilt together!

Head on over to Judy at Patchwork Times to see what is on other quilters' design walls.

Happy stitching!
