Frigid outside, warm inside.............
It was 1 degree last night at 11:30 when I started typing this post. -3 was the prediction by 3 a.m. today.
I was nice and warm in my studio sewing the first 4 blocks of the coral and green quilt of Marcia Derse fabric. The background print is gray with a dull gold print on it. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it but now that I have some blocks done I can say that I do like it. I am only making 12 blocks in my effort to make smaller quilts this year. I plan on adding a small border of the background fabric and the binding will be either coral or green.
Jack Frost came to visit on my kitchen windows.
The last Amaryllis has started to bloom and it is white double flowers too so all of the Stargazer packages were mismarked. I'm happy though because I can rarely ever find a white Amaryllis and to have double petals is a bonus. The second stalk on the plant on the left is starting to bloom too. The third stalk is still tiny and kind of trapped between the other 2 so I'm not sure if it will bloom.

Love the Marcia Derse blocks — this will have a very clean yet rich look!
Your blocks look wonderful.
It does look a bit chilly there! The frost on the window is so pretty.
Two of my white amaryllis sent up second stalks with four blooms each. They were so pretty this year. I'm glad that you got the white ones.
Nifty blocks! Did you design them (the pattern, I mean)?
it though it got cold here at 21, stay warm
I really like the pattern and green and coral combination. It has hints of spring coming . (^._,^) Your temps are REALLY COLDER than ours here I the mountains. Plus you usually have the humidity which adds to the cold. It was 45 yesterday in the valley. And predicted to hit 40 today.

I love this color palette and pattern. I"m happy that it hasn't been that cold here! Tonight will be a low of 7 but we'll get above freezing tomorrow afternoon!
Your amaryllis are beautiful. I'll have to wait for Spring to see ours.
