Gridlock finished.................

I loved making this Gridlock quilt with Marcia Derse fabrics.  The original quilt is in a Kaffe Fassett book and I studied the quilt photo for ideas for piecing the blocks.  The original quilt was made by Liza Prior Lucy with the idea coming from a knitted garment that Kaffe designed and knitted.  There are suggestions how to make this one, but not specific directions.  I just had fun experimenting with the fabrics.

The backing and binding are Marcia Derse fabrics too.  It is 65" x 91".  

The fun of making this quilt is that each block was a unique little mini quilt design.  Then the end process was putting all of these mini designs into one big quilt top.

I finished the top at the end of November last year.

Amaryllis update:

Both bud stalks are getting tall and the tallest one is starting to open.  The picture that came with the bulb shows red blooms

I think it looks more like white with red streaks.  Whatever color it is I know I will love it.

Around 2 p.m. yesterday I looked out the west window and saw the blue sky and white clouds in the distance.  It got to us and then back to gray skies and snow showers within a few minutes.  I hope we get the sun predicted on Sunday.  Monday, partly cloudy, Tuesday mostly cloudy and then back to gray skies and snow showers.
