It’s THAT Friday again….time for Reindeer Games. I worked all week and finally finished the hand quilting and the binding for my wall-hanging. I want to give you a hint: BUY FABRIC, and PLENTY OF IT. When I decided to put the blocks together I had no idea how much sashing fabric I would need, and not even thinking about binding, I put the quilt together. Yesterday when I decided to get around to the binding, I discovered I needed more fabric and ran up to the Attic Window Quilt Shop to get some more. It was all gone! Ugh! Will I ever learn? I ended up getting a green that matched the small green flower in the red sashing. I suppose it will work. I’ll show you the completed wall-hanging at the end of our Games. Today I’m posting the pattern for Blitzen. You may get the pattern here.
This is my applique version. I think I must have taken this picture before I finished adding the mouth. Now hop over to Barb’s blog and see her appliqué version. I thought she said she might do Blitzen too, but as I recall I don’t think her Blitzen is the same as mine. Barb is also having a great give-away, so be sure and sign up for that.

So, so cute! Isn't that the way it goes? Well, often that works to your advantage and you find something that's better than you thought it could be. :-)
