Green and White

FOR THE GREEN:

I finally finished Green Piece......well I thought I had until I took the folded quilt back into my sewing room and saw the "flange" fabric hanging on the ladder.  Well I wasn't happy but I have decided that I will NOT be putting it on.......if I were to add this flange I would have to take off the outer border so I could attach it.  What would you do if it were your quilt?? 

I hung it on my clothes line to get photos, the photos are not the best because of the angle of the line.  I will take better photos when I get it quilted, I will be taking it to the quilt shop to get that done, it really needs "special" quilting around the applique blocks. 

The colors are really much nicer than these photos are showing.

Now to the WHITE...........

This is what it looks like outside my windows this morning, it is very wet heavy snow that may change to rain later..........the words "power outages" are being mentioned on the news also!  I have made sure that things are in order in case we do have an outage, we are fortunate enough to have a generator but I still don't run everything with the generator......but I know it could run my sewing machine, LOL!  Before today things were looking up in the snow melting department, this is certainly going to slow that down.  I do realize that I am blessed to be warm and safe during storms like this but I still have to grumble a little.

Have a wonderful day, wherever you are, whatever your weather!

Sewing Fun

Today's weather is gloomy, but warm so the precipitation should be rain, actually the whole weekend is expected to be a great for INSIDE activities.  I am planning to continue working on some of my UFOs, I am making great progress on Green Piece and have started sewing some of the blocks into rows! 

These are waiting to be trimmed and squared up...........

 so I can add these to the corners..........

I only have four more left to finish the applique in this basket..........

Here is a photo of what the finished quilt is going to look like.

I am hoping to get the large center block cut, add the two borders and get the grass and tree put on it.......so stay tuned to see if I meet my expectations or wander off to one of the other UFOs. 

Hope you have a great weekend!
