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!

Lovely:) I really like the pinwheel block
Owwwwww! I've not seen the Irish chain and bear claw before. Super cool! Delicious fabrics and you've piece them so well together. These have been productive, happy snow days, indeed!
Beautiful patchworking, you have a great eye for colour. Sorry about all the snow.
Your blocks are so pretty - love them fabrics. Ugh to all that snow - I am so ready for it to get warm....

Love your blocks :) snow has been a bugger here too - I'm hoping for summer instead of spring at this point!
Those blocks are adorable. I love the pinwheel.
