OMG--Christmas in August?

Wow, I can hardly believe a month has gone by and it is time to grab a project for Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal August Linkup.  I should have grabbed this project last month so I could have had Christmas in July.

I will be working on a wall hanging that I started last year and had planned on having it done for Christmas but that didn't happen.  The pattern is Candy Cane from Country Threads.

I decided I didn't want to try to applique the two colors and found a stripe I really liked.  I had to chuckle when a friend of mine was surprised with my color choice of pink and bright green.  I know it isn't the traditional Christmas colors but it goes well with my pink Christmas tree.

My goal this month is to finish machine quilting and bind my quilt.  I see a theme here as I seem to have quite a few projects that never quite get to the machine quilting part.  Thank goodness for OMG!

Visit Elm Street Quilts OMG August Goal to see what everyone else is up to. Sorry my link doesn't show up in a bright/different color but I have no idea why I can't seem to get it changed to another color. 

Cheers,
