One and Done

I finished quilting the second QAL and laid it to the side while I loaded the next top on the frame, when I went to trim it and apply the binding--someone had made themselves at home!
Instead I added the borders onto the last of the pile of tops I had lined up.  Lena was still asleep on the quilt so I began to work at the frame instead.
 
I am working on the top of all of those 4 1/2" squares 
my Mom gave me. 
 Last time I ordered a pantograph from Willow Leaf Studio 
they included a free one -

which is not one I would've chosen but after giving it a try--

I really like it!

It gives a clean line to the quilt; 
 very different than my usual choices and nice to try it out!
 
The saga of the three pairs of Christmas socks is complete! 
 Made of Cascade Yarns in Heritage Prints sock yarn color no. 60. 
 Lg pair over 64 sts, 8yo socks knit over 56 sts 
and the 5yo socks over 48 sts 
All were knit on number 2.5mm needles, toe-up with a gusset heel.
