A Spring Day With Snow

Finally! A warmish day with a nice stretch of sunshine. We're back from a week in Florida and a little bit of warmth seems to have come back with us. Time to get a few photos of my Denyse Schmidt Sawtooth quilt (from "Modern Quilts Traditional Inspiration") out in the fresh air! There's plenty of snow still on the ground, but there are lots of clear spots too. Reason to hope that spring is actually on its way!!

A bit of a close-up...

 

Showing some backside...

No spare hands could be found to hold the quilt up, so I had to settle for the driest sunniest flat spot I could find. I'll take it!! It's a double size quilt so it was hard to get the whole thing on the screen. The colors are Kona Celery and ...dare I say... Snow.

After this, I'm hoping to squeeze in lots of quilting before I have to go back to work. No plans yet for these fab Kona charm squares I got in the guild swap on Thursday:

I have also ripped apart my first shot at the project I started for the Modern Quilt Guild's spring fabric challenge (some flowery teal and gray Riley Blake fabric). I want to make a pillow and I don't want it to turn into some huge project. Just want to get it done at this point and not have it look weird. No need to show it in its current state, ack!

And my next priority is a t-shirt quilt for my 4-year old daughter. It will be just a few very choice t-shirts integrated into a Cluck Cluck Sew design. That's the plan anyway.

So many quilts in my brain, so little time!!
