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.

On a snowy and bitter cold day, quilting provides cheerful color! Love the bright green blocks.
Great job on working through some of your light/bright GREEN scraps!! Your Batik Star quilt top came together beautifully. Happy quilting!
I 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!
