Working on 2............


There was a plumber working at my house yesterday so I kept busy cutting while he was there.  I got 9 Snail's Trail blocks die cut and then sewed them last night.  I was able to find the top rosy color fabric for $6.99 last week and I didn't have any of it.  I made 6 of the new blocks with that fabric.  I had 15 blocks sewn previously so I'm up to 24 blocks now.  I think I need at least 35 so I'll continue cutting.


I also cut strips for 2 more batches of 4 patches.  There are 6 of each in the piles.






I added one more column of heart blocks on the left side and then put up groups of the 5 sets of 4 patches I have sewn so far.  I need to sew 2 more groups.  I think I need 8 more 4 patches and I can only get 6 out of 2 strips sewn together.  If I decide to add one more row of hearts across the bottom then I would need 10 more 4 patches.

We have been enjoying days near 50 and now they are predicting snow on Thursday.  The good new is it will be warm on the weekend.

  2. all of the blocks look really good - I love the colors of the snails trail blocks that you show. Our weather here is going to a bad thunderstorm tonight so not surprised your weather is to change tomorrow.

  4. Your pink projects are so cheerful! As I write the wind is howling as the front barrels in. Hope our snowfall is slight.

  5. That rosie colored fabric is pretty. I bought the last 2.25 yards they had. I have no idea what I am going to make with these fabrics, but it is nice to have them!

  7. So glad you found the rosy fabric to use in your Snail's Trail quilt. It is perfect with the other blocks you've made.

    What a joyful quilt your heart quilt will soon be!

    Hugs!

  8. Your pink hearts are so pleasing to look at, they pull you right in. And the patch border adds so much to the ambiance of the entire piece.

    Frosty fabric for your Snails trail, look and have a feeling so much like our frosty mornings, here in the mountains. And the weather kids tell us it will continue until the end of the month .
