Here's my finished Speck!
I've seen lots of great X's and O's out there and I can't wait to see them all in the parade on Sherri's blog, and on Sinta's too!
These Little Bites patterns by Carrie are so tiny and fun!
I chose to do the O option for Speck since I had two different Christmas Moda Candies to use, Blitzen and Countdown to Christmas.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to stick with just the plain white border on this one to keep it small and simple.
JoAnne mentioned awhile back that she had a little trouble pressing these like she should. Even though she mentioned it, and I think I even commented that I'd be careful with the pressing, I still did the same thing!
Good grief! You would have thought I'd pay more attention to the pressing after she brought it up, but I didn't!
The repressing was totally worth it to make this project fall right in place! Like JoAnne said, the seams just snap together when they are pressed the way Carrie suggests.
See you at the parade!

Love your version, Michele in Christmas fabric!!! Super cute!!!!
Blitzen and Countdown to Christmas look awesome together in that pattern Michele! And that's what I love about Carrie's patterns...she gives pressing instructions!
Oh how cute! I love your Christmas Speck Michele! It is awesome!
I love how your Speck quilt turned out Michele. Very nice.
Love! Love! Love your Speck!
Very sweet little quilt.
Oh dear! I did warn you, though, ha ha. I love your little Christmas version, but then I love Basic Grey. I haven't seen too many "o" versions and I really like how the abscense of sashing encourages the eye to see both x's and o's. Another stunner!
Love, love, love this Schnibbles, Michele! The two candies play together so well!
Cheers!
Very, very cute! Love Blitzen and Countdown to Christmas together - great choice.
Looks great! I love it Michele! :)
I love it. It's still so hot, but I can't believe yesterday I found myself humming a Christmas carol to myself at Target. (One that I have to be careful or it sticks in my head and I can't get it out) It's getting closer to the season, and your little quilt is perfect.
Great job on this project. Your "o's" seem so much more visible than mine. I hear ya on the pressing thing, because a couple of mine got pressed wrong because I was not paying attention and it didn't take much to convince me back to the iron to correct things. I love your fabric choice. Very pretty!
This looks wonderful!
Nice Christmas Speck! Those 2 packs go very well together. I think I am going to have to make an O Speck also.
Yumyum, love this quilt.
Blitzen is a terrific Christmas line. It's perfect in this little quilt.
Love your holiday version of this great Speck! I always appreciate pressing directions--even if I sometimes ignore them :)
very pretty.
Very beautiful version, Michele, Hugs.
Lovely work. I have bought the Schnibbles books for Christmas for myself.
I really love this one. You're making me want to make one!
