Loving Color







































I found some pretty tulips at the grocers yesterday.  It's always helpful in the dead of winter to be reminded of the coming spring.  They are keeping me company as I continue to work on my scrappy trip along quilt.








































I have 16 of the 36 blocks put together.  The other day I sat and just chain pieced all the strips so now I can just cut the tubes, arrange and sew.  I know that many of the quilts being made have specific color placements but I wasn't overly concerned about that.  I like the true scrappy nature of the quilt. I will play around a bit with the design when finished.








































50 degree temps and rain gave way to a night of snow and ice.  So today Maddie has a snow day.  I've got a roast in the crock pot and I'm itching to sew.  Have a good day!
