There is a big important finish - the Jackrabbit Stars quilt. And it was done in time to give my husband for his April birthday. Actually I gave it to him - before binding - on our anniversary last week as a joint anniversary/birthday gift. I think he likes it but it's hard to tell as he never gets exuberant about anything.
Trying to get a good photo this week has been an issue with the grey sky and drizzly wet days. I did finally get him to hold it up out on the front porch yesterday. I flipped that bottom corner over to show the yellow gold backing, which has stars. It's 76 x 90.
Progress is happening with the Snowdrift (UFO) project too. Because I had the block parts all cut out earlier in the week, I could dive into sewing those blocks. I did decide to make one change to the pattern - eliminating the corner triangles on the blocks. I think the snowflake effect will show up better without that extra pinwheel showing up where the blocks meet. It was just a bit too chaotic to my eye.
The 2 peach colored blocks are done - and I like the look much better without the corner triangles, so I'll continue with that plan with the other 10 blocks.
Plenty of pink Rainbow Scrap Challenge sewing has happened this week too. I had cut the parts for a few blocks, and have been using them as Leaders/Enders in between the other sewing all week.
