Monday Making

Half of the quilt is together and I am loving how this looks.  If these were larger blocks and all Civil War prints I would sew them block to block or even on point.  BUT, with this brighter mix I am going with a full sashing setting.  It's a little more time consuming, but I think it sets these found HSTs off so nicely.

Today I will finish up the row sashes and get the other half together and hopefully then, join the two halves.  A skinny light border around and then I have pulled some fabrics to audition for a final larger border.  I will push myself thru those borders as I want to have this completed before I start on anything else.  

And yes, on Wed, Thurs, and Fri. we had snow.  The valley didn't get as much as the mountain communities - BUT IT"S APRIL!  We've warmed up and the sunshine has taken most of this away.

However, the cold did a number on the daffodils.  I was so happy to see large clusters of these (I had all white ones), but for such a short time.

The tulips just starting to come out and I hope they are hardier.  These are rescue or free planted (squirrels and chippers) bulbs.  I have to thank my neighbors for these.

AND the next generation quilter!  With the extended 'pause' for NYS, my daughter is teaching her daughter to quilt.  A new scrap quilter - love it.  This is the little bug I made the Unicorn Quilt for.

Keep Safe and Healthy,
Sewingly Yours,
