UFO progress

this UFO has been in the works for some time.  amish style, of course, using up some cherrywood scraps from their scrap bags.  it is hand pieced and will be hand quilted.  only 20 blocks in all with alternating solid blocks -- for the quilting of course!  this is the first time i've seen them all together and soon it will be a flimsy....no rush, though, whenever is ok with me.  it is a gift quilt so won't be staying with me.  i am thinking my next hand piecing project will be civil war repros.  it has to be small enough to be portable as i've the hawaiian to keep at home....just plain too large to stuff into my purse.   **** yes, it is disgustingly true, we have had another snowstorm.  we are all praying this is the last.  we (meaning collectively new england residents) are so done with winter!

  1. Hand pieced churn dash blocks, and hand quilted, too--that will be a treasure!
    We have been snowless for a couple of weeks, but there is more in the forecast for the week. Not to the extent you are getting, though.

  2. I love the little churn dash....I love looking at all of your wall sized quilts. The Flower pots really made me smile. Spring has been delayed here as well. Wind chills in the single digits, and snow (a good amount although the weatherman is afraid to say for sure how much) for the weekend, it usually doesn't stick around in March but it is unseasonably cold....sorry for big whine, I need to work on something spring like. Still binding Easy Street, I'll be happy when that is complete.
