I am making more progress trying to finish up loose ends this week! A while ago, Jacquie at Tallgrass Prairie Studio developed a charity quilt project titled
Project Improv. The idea is to have people send in 12.5" blocks of three different color schemes that will be made into quilts to be given away or maybe auctioned off for charity.
I loved the idea of this so I knew I needed to join! I have been slowly working on these four wonky log cabin blocks to send into her for the project.
The deadline is fast approaching for blocks to be sent in so I finally finished these up! It feels great to have another "to do" item marked off the list.
If you haven't checked out her blog before, head over
there now and check it out! She is always creating such beautiful things and this project has got to be a huge thing to keep track of for her.
My favorite block is the one with the butterfly! Now I just need to hit the post office this afternoon, and they will be on their way.
Since we received another snow day on Friday, I spent most of the morning making 6.5" blocks for Marilyn who has April. I am working early this month on my blocks! She requested 6.5 or 12.5" blocks. The one above is a single irish chain.
The next block is a pinwheel and I love the blues against the pink.
Finally, I made a bearclaw. It was a lot of fun making the smaller blocks. I felt like they came together quickly and I could use more patterns. I also felt like I had more freedom in the choice of pattern to use because it was not going to be a large 12.5" block. I don't know if that makes sense, but it was liberating.
I will leave you with a couple of pictures of the snow as of Friday morning when the sun came out and the snow stopped falling. We received 11" in our backyard!
