- I'm making steady progress on this interesting quilt. I can't quite decide what I want to do for borders but will probably go with the white and green shown here. I am going to alternate the rows as shown above using 16 of the square blocks and 9 of the star blocks which have the Chevrons reversed. You have probably already noticed some of my screw ups. The most glaring of which is that some of my pinwheels are going one way and others another way! This has been a great learning experience for me as Bonnie is such a great teacher and explains the why of everything she asks you to do. I love the secondary designs that are created by her pattern: the large circles that appear pieced, the orange and green Irish chains and shapes formed by the neutral areas. I fully expect to get this finished this week at a Retreat I am attending at Heart to Hand Retreat Center here in Wisconsin.
- The high today was -15 degrees Fahrenheit and that doesn't take into account the wind chill factor. So it is a great time to stay inside and quilt! Those on the opposite end of our planet are having to deal with extreme heat!
- I have mentioned this before but I don't know if everyone saw it. It is as though over 200 quilters have been in the same room working on the same quilt thanks to Bonnie getting us to all link up in cyberspace. I have met so many interesting people all over our planet. How is that for togetherness!!
