Patchwork of the Crosses – Block 10

Green is one of my favourite colours. Making this block was fun. It reminds me of a salad. Clearly my quilt will be quite scrappy if the first 10 blocks are any indication!

The back:

As well as working on this block and another, which is unfinished as of right now, I also started writing the pattern for the Butterfly Stars baby quilt. I still have a fair bit to do on it, but hope to have it finished sometime within the next week.

We had the most bizarre weekend as far as weather goes. Saturday, during the day, was in the low 60s. Saturday night? Saturday night we had a wind chill of 0. I couldn’t believe we had to turn the heat back on. There was a fairly intense thunderstorm that preceded the cold front with lots of lightning and thunder. Normally, the kitties aren’t the least bit concerned by storms but Smudge’s eyes got a big saucer-like when the thunder was really close. Lester slept through it.

On Sunday, even though it was still rather chilly for the last day of May, Lester was happy hanging out on the windowsill.

  1. I just love love love this block…this is proof that you never can go wrong with GREEN!Sounds like very crazy weather but it IS spring still although here in Utah it has been very summer-like as we race to get the yard tamed!I am running out of words to say how much I love those blocks…so tempting to order this collection but I am so far “upsidedown” in my quilt room as it is I would have to wait 10 years to get to it! LOL

  2. Very Irish-looking!We must have stolen all your good weather, because this is the third day in a row with no rain, but lots of nice breezes and warm sunshine. I might even have to water the garden tomorrow!
