Design wall Monday - Stoney Creek update

Hey Everyone!  No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, just busy with the little one and trying to get organized for the upcoming holiday season...like most of you fab quilters out there!

I've finally managed to put together one section of my Stoney Creek quilt...and am loving it!  Here's a peek....

Here's the first section sewn together...y-seams and all!  I've had quite the time getting the top turquoise strata put together...it always seems to go wonky near the end of the strata, even when I use starch.  I think I'll be ripping out stitches this week and giving it another try.  If I can get one section sewn per week, I'll have it done for Christmas...then I can take advantage of boxing week sales to find the perfect border fabrics! :-)

I'd like to welcome Colleen, BrendaS and Myra to the blog - appreciate it!
Enjoy!
