One more block to make.............

I have the last block laid out on my sewing table so I'm hoping for a top sewn together by tonight.  I really like this one and it accomplished many things.  I had been wanting to do a red and white quilt for Valentine's Day, wanted to use the less than 1/4 yard pieces of reds, wanted to do another quilt with white and black as the light color in a quilt.



For those of you without an email link that asked about the fabric in the OBW blocks yesterday, this fabric was purchased on sale 3 1/2 years ago and here is the selvage information.



The last 2 Amaryllis plants are still blooming and I'm going to miss them when they are done.  My Christmas cacti are all taking a break with nothing blooming.



I shoveled my sidewalk before dark but there is more snow  It is sparkling like it has diamond dust in it.  Tonight the bigger snowstorm is supposed to come but it looks like the track moved farther north than they first thought so I'm not sure what to expect.

sounds like you are getting exercise most do not want - shoveling snow! be careful out there - I know from what you say that you do just a little at a time and that is good - it would drive me crazy after awhile having that much - my daughter is so glad they have a snow blower

Great post today Wanda, your Red and White is stunning, such an awesome design for it. And for you to design so many blocks from one floral piece is fascinating and beautiful. We still Re enjoying mild temps here in the mountains, but to change tomorrow, I hope nothing like what you are coping with.

Oh, the red and white is so awesome. The many different reds make it sparkle.
Finished quilting and binding the colorwash today. Took photos and need to get it on my blog.

I am in coastal S.C. now, but went to high school in ND. I forgot how the snow would sparkle like it had diamond dust in it. That is a perfect description. I do miss the blizzards but I don’t miss having to bundle up every single time you go outside for weeks at a time. I do remember one year we almost didn’t have any snow at Christmas! I think it snowed Christmas Eve day. Love your red and white quilt.
