Playing Catch Up

Winter is wearing out it's welcome as far as I'm concerned. It was miserably cold all weekend.  I'm ready for a warm up and more color than the shades of brown that currently on display outside my window. The temperatures should start to moderate a bit in February and I'm ready. 

Thankfully my border for the first round of the SAHRR was simple and easy, which left me time to play catch up on some of last year's projects this weekend. 




All the "A" blocks for the Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs) are made.  There was good progress on the "B" blocks.  Number 3 is partially assembled over at the sewing machine.  So far I'm happy with how it's coming together.  It's not going to make it to a finished quilt top before the end of the month, but hopefully I can get that far before the end of next month. 

I've also been working on the clues for Old Town.  Clues 1 and 2 are finished.  Clue 3 is more than half way.  It may be mid year before this project gets put together, but that's OK.  

Linking up with Monday Design Wall and Patchwork & Quilts.

Marble Mist is going to be stunning. Your colors are so dramatic and rich. Old Town is actually moving to my "Some Day" list for now. I have too many other projects going on. LOL

it is strange in the south isn't it when we have winter in December and January and then we complain that we are ready for the warmer weather - a two month winter isn't bad but I think we will continue with up and down weather through March

Winter is a hard season for me; I really like to get outside every day if I can and the cold and wind here make that hard in the winter. Sounds like you took the right approach to a bitter weekend and made some great sewing progress!

The intense purples are great!

Purple is my favorite color. I love your blocks.

Well, I love your purple blocks. I like purple, but it’s not a color I often choose to work with.

Your A blocks are beautiful. Hope you are able to enjoy some sun!

Yummy purple blocks, and the little pieces of yellow add the sun you are waiting for ;) Have fun working on the SAHRR round 2!
