The past two days have been wonderful with temperatures in the 60s and even low 70s. We have another drop coming, but this is a sure sign to me that winter is over.
I’ve made a little progress on my piece with the .50″ Inklingo hexagons. These go together so easily that the centre is growing relatively quickly. I’m still not sure how large this will be but it’s a lot of fun making the little 4-unit flowers and then adding them in a haphazard way to the centre.
Having learned the hard way, I now press after every few flowers. I finger press as I add each unit so when I do press it with the iron, it’s a very quick process.
So far, I’ve got a lot accomplished that was on my list of quilt-related items I wanted to get ready for stitching. All that’s left now to do is decide on the setting for Tropical Punch and get the diamonds for the rainbow of the sky quilt printed. The fabric is all cut and ready to iron to freezer paper.
Every year we have a pair of woodpeckers arrive in the spring. I thought I heard them the other day but couldn’t see them. Today I saw both of them. I’m always amazed at the amount of noise these little birds can make. I was fascinated watching them. Although the picture’s not great, the woodpecker has a red head.
It seems the woodpeckers aren’t what Lester is waiting for. He wasn’t the least bit interested in watching them.

I like the little random flowers. It isn’t as formal and therefore more fun.We don’t get the red headed woodpeckers very often. I may see them a couple times a year. We have a lot of the smaller variety.

The hexagons are lookin’ good Cathi. Most of the snow is gone here, finally, but I was amazed at how high all the rivers still are. Even the creeks have rapids. I’ll be happy to be sure that we’ve seen the last of the snow.Crispy

Your little quit is growing beautifully! It’s funny about cats – one of mine gets really upset if there’s a bird on the feeder – the others could care less. They’d rather watch the squirrels or the bunny. But – if another cat dares come in the yard – they ALL get upset! And mine don’t even go outside. 🙂

I love how it’s coming together – and the back is nearly as fun as the front. Isn’t it great to see all those little mini-hexes all around *s*

Lester looks like he is sleeping really hard! My cat Gomez snores a little when he is deep in sleep! I’m glad your weather has been nice and spring-y. I have at least 2 woodpeckers that hang out at my house.
