Let's Figure This

So, now that all the Advent cross-stitch pieces are done, what do I do?  Each piece is 3 inches square, so if I wanted to make them into a quilt, how much fabric would I need?  And how would I do it --- bind each piece somehow so that they would anchor more easily to the fabric?  This will require some distance and reflection.

Did you know catalogs still have these in them?  I am seriously considering ordering something from Herrschners just to use it.
It reminds me of when you would send rolls of films away to be developed.  The wait was exciting and seemed interminable.

Bad weather blew by or around us, but there's been enough rain hanging around that my left side sinuses are still causing supreme troubles.  Still, I finished a gray baby alpaca hat for myself.  Nothing special --- just a ribbed pull-on hat.  Don't know what my next stitching project will be.  Just another decision to be made...
