Surprise! I started another new quilt. The back story: I have been cleaning off a table to prepare for basting and the cut pieces for the Snail's Trail blocks were one of the things on that table. I cut them about 2 weeks ago and rather than shuffling the pieces to another location to work on at a later date, I pieced the 12" blocks. The fabric is Wishwell Weather Report and I made a top last year with the same fabric. That one is in limbo while I decide if I want to make it larger with more blocks of add a border of random length rectangles or just finish it with a facing like I was considering last April.
I also located more pink fabric for hearts and I need to iron it today so I can cut the rest of the blocks.
Here is a close up of the fabric. I have enough of it to cut more blocks so that will be on my list for this week.
I got the house print backing loaded on the long arm and placed the batting on it. I just laid the top with it and hopefully I will be inspired to quilt it soon.

Oh the snail's Trail blocks in those fabrics are just so lovely and lace-y looking!!
Up to 35 this morning--almost feels balmy--so relative, huh?
And the sun is shining--how nice for a noontime walk...
Hugs, Julierose
I love that fabric you are using for the snails trail
The Wishing Well weather fabrics are fantastic.
I always enjoy your surprises, perfect fabric for Snails Trails . And I do remember the fabric from last year and had to take another peak. It has a frosty elegance to it. Like our Montana skies this winter.
Hearts galore and ever so filled with pretty pinks.

I plan to make a Snail's Trail quilt very soon and love your fabrics. Also a Storm at Sea.
You're an inspiration!
Hugs!
Wow! Love that Snails Trail. Those blocks are so pretty and so are the hearts.
I seem to have missed the post you've given the link for but now visited, I haven't seen any of this fabric here in NZ but it has given an ethereal look to the quilt, be interesting to see the effect with a finished Snail Trail top.
I missed this post from the other day. I love the hearts quilt, and I love, love, love those Wishwell Weather Report This is going to be a great quilt!
Sweet hearts (pardon the pun!).
