I was totally on my feet for about five straight hours yesterday, getting the Baby Jesus and manger added to the Greatest Gift banner. Take that, Fibromonster! It wasn't easy, but I did it.
This one is complete except for borders and machine quilting. I'm about to start the second one, "The Annoucement." It's about angels and shepherds and has no strip-pieced star rays, so I think it might be faster. But it does have lots of black bias strips, and that takes a lot of time at the ironing board, standing up 'cause I can't iron sitting down.
Nine days, counting today, till the banners are supposed to be hung. I don't know, but I think I can.

Absolutely fabulous! I can't imagine trying to do these so quickly, but if anyone can you can. What an incredible gift for your church. I can't remember - did you design these yourself? Either way, you are very talented.
