I have a serious case of cabin fever going on. It was a bitter cold windy day here on Saturday, but the sun was shining finally. And even here in town there was still a LOT of snow moving. Our street wasn't plowed out until afternoon. But with a NEGATIVE 20 degree wind chill, it did seem like a smart thing to stay home yesterday and sew - which is what I did.
First off, two more green RSC20 blocks were added to the collection. So now I have 2 each of the Twinkle Star and Gingham blocks. At least 2 or 3 of each color should make a reasonable size quilt. I'm loosely thinking 20 total blocks of each of these will be my goal.
I also finished the top for Batik Stars. It turned out fine, but the colors here just don't appeal to me. However, it's a nice size - about 50" x 60" so it will make a good donation quilt. And it feels really good to have this one finally put together after sitting around as just blocks since 2007. And I have an empty project box waiting to be filled with something new and interesting.
Last but not least is the French General wall hanging. I added the quilting in the colored squares and was very pleased with the results - until I laid it out to photograph. That's when I saw the 2 whole sections that I missed quilting. So that will be one of my projects today.
Lovely green blocks going on there;)))

On a snowy and bitter cold day, quilting provides cheerful color! Love the bright green blocks.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on working through some of your light/bright GREEN scraps!! Your Batik Star quilt top came together beautifully. Happy quilting!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright green squares. The batik squares all together are different...but someone will love them. It is good to have long time projects finished!
