Snow Crystal Block in Progress

Posted on October 2, 2009 by Quiltobsession

The pieces for the remaining Snow Crystal blocks are all cut and ready to piece so Thursday night I decided to work on one. Once the centre star is done, and the 4 partial stars, it’s just lots of lovely continuous stitching to join everything together into a block.

Although you can’t really tell it from this photo, some of the leaves on the trees are turning yellow and orange and falling. If there’s any breeze at all, leaves fly by the window. Then Smudge takes up residence on the windowsill to try to catch those leaves as they fly by.

Lester also has to keep an eye out for those leaves.

Snow Crystal Block #12

Posted on September 4, 2009 by Quiltobsession

The pink and white 9″ snow crystal blocks are part of the rotation. I thought there were 13 blocks done, but there were only 11 so this is the twelfth. I have the pieces printed and cut out for another 13 blocks so I’m thinking a 25-block set and then I’ll have my pink and white quilt.

The back:

And this is what I’m thinking I’ll use for the sashing. Of course, that may change once all the blocks are done and I lay them out. It may need something stronger or even perhaps just a white or maybe a pink and white stripe.

Kaaren at The Painted Quilt has started a new feature — First Friday Freebie. The first one is a fabulous fall stitchery wall hanging or mini quilt. There’s a button you can grab for your blog as well.
