Final Update
Cindy Lou Who - Done!
*
It's 6:00 PM and I have finished Cindy Lou Who! Rather than continue to ponder and overthink the borders you can see what I opted to do. I think it will be adorable during the Christmas season on a table with a small Christmas tree or one of my Santas. The best part - it's done! Wahoooooo!!!!!
I've had a fabulous day sewing with the Charming Girls. Thank you Kelly & Carol for hosting.*
I'm off to grab my Netbook laptop computer to sit and visit with all of you.

Update #3
Cindy Lou Who
*The center of Cindy Lou Who is finish - woohoo! I don't have any yardage of these prints so I'm not sure what I'm going to do about an outer border. Piano keys might be the best idea but I'm not sure I have enough fabric. I'm off to ponder!

I hope you've had as much fun today as I have. I really love my results. I promise to visit everyone to see what you've done today. :-)

I'm so excited I couldn't wait to share! I've been agonizing about fabric for Cindy Lou Who - grrrr! I had a major light bulb moment (don't you just love it when that happens?) I remembered that I had some super old Sandy Gervais fabric called Dear Santa. A couple of years ago I cut off half of every fat quarter to make charm packs for some friends who 'really wanted to learn how to quilt' - well that never happened. Sigh! Anyway, I pressed the halves I had and cut my own charm squares this morning and now I'm ready to start cutting the pieces/parts for the Schnibble. WooHoo!!!!
The lights! YUMMY!
The darks! More Yummy!
more later..........................
I don't have plans to sew anything specifically for Christmas but I decided to just spend the day with the Charming Girls. :-) Wait a minute I just thought of something - I'm going to be working on Schnibble Cindy Lou Who and she's from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas so I guess it is Christmas related. LOLHave fun!
In Friendship!

Oh Darlene - I'm so excited you're sewing with us - and your Cindy Lou is going to be TOO CUTE - love that fabric!
I'm not familiar with Cindy Lou Who but if it's a quilt and it's done in those fabrics then it's sure to be a winner.

Wonderful Christmas toy! You'll enjoy playing with it in your decorating, I'm sure. I'm picturing a Christmas photo of the Wabbit gang and that quilt in the wagon....
Your Cindy Lou Who quilt is gorgeous! I love the color combo.
Perfect fabrics for perfect pattern, congrats !
That's fabulous, I really love it. Your "light bulb" moment about the fabrics really paid off.

You're absolutely right, Darlene...a perfect Christmas accent quilt.
Another awesome finish!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Love how you solved the border problem! Your Cindy Lou turned out fabulous, and yes it will be great as a Christmas table topper!
I love the way it turned out. Your border choice is perfect!
It's wonderful! I loved reading the updates as you sewed!!
Great idea for your borders and I think they look great! :)
Looks great with the borders that you selected and a wonderful addition for Christmas. I just can't believe how quickly you finish projecs. If only I didn't have to work....but I'll keep plugging away!
It's beautiful!
Darlene,
I just posted a picture of my Cindy Lou Who flimsy on Friday. I think this pattern makes a really cute quilt!
Good choice and way ahead of the game. I look forward to seeing how you finish it.
It is wonderful... and perfect for Christmas...:o) I can see it with that lovely tree and ornaments ... way to go..:o)) Just a perfect display!
Oh, I just love your quilt...great job!
What a great quilt! It will be lovely during the Christmas holidays.

I totally agree--It is adorable. I like the pattern and your fabric choices. A job well done-and a day well spent--What more could we ask for!
I wish I could have joined you all yesterday. Cindy Lou is still one of my favorites. I think you made the right choice for the border. Perfect for the Christmas party!
I love your table topper
Cindy Lou is so pretty! I love that fabric line. Why can't they just keep re-printing stuff that I love? You did a great job!
What a beauty. I love what you did with the borders!
How did I miss all this fun you were having????
Cindy Lou Who is fab! Looks like someone was having a great time yesterday while her friend over here was doing straight line quilting. ;)
Darlene,
I really enjoyed watching Cindy Lou Who come together. I wasn't so sure of your containment border, at first I thought it overpowered the blocks, but once you added the final borders, WOW, it all came together fabulously! Congratulations, just in time for the final Schnibbles parade.
Wouldn't a Whoville cookie jar look perfect in the middle of that quilt? We must be on the lookout for one!
I know your quilt will be so cute...like all your other quilts.
Darlene, that is so pretty!! You did a fantastic job on Cindy Lou! ☺
How cute is that?! You are right. It will look wonderful out during the holidays. Lovely work :-)
Before I flush my google reader I had to come visit you and see your latest projects. :-)
Oh Darlene - your Cindy Lou is just TOO CUTE! I wish I had done mine in Christmas fabric now! Love it, love it! Thanks so much for sewing with us!
