A Couple of Gingerbread Men

I wanted to make a few of these for Christmas gifts last year, but never got round to doing it, so I thought I'd start making them now for Christmas 2010. I think they are very cute.

Update

A quick update on my progress. Last week I went along to the local quilt shop and purchased a backing for the green log cabin quilt, though I'm not sure I'm entirely happy with it. Anyway, I basted the layers together and have started to echo quilt each 'log' by hand. I love to sit outside on the deck and watch the wildlife in the garden while I'm stitching but, due to the unseasonably hot weather we're having at the moment in southern Ontario, it's warm work.





I've also started to sew my hourglass blocks together for another quilt top. Not really sure exactly how I want the finished quilt to look yet, so it's a sort of personal mystery quilt. I'll finish ironing the blocks today and start to lay them out and decide whether to use sashings or not.
