Little Blue Baskets

 Hello Everyone,

Here's a quick update on my new Timeless quilt.  I finished the eight little blue baskets which will be in the next round of the medallion quilt.

They are just stinkin' adorable!  They are tiny, only 6-1/2" x 6-1/2" which makes them extra special.

Late yesterday afternoon, I started in on the pink blocks. I love the way the pink roses randomly dance around the block.

The blocks play well together.

I'm not sure how many I'll get made today.  You know I'm a football fan and Winter Olympics fan. I do not have a TV in my sewing room, so maybe I should just move my sewing machine out to the great room and sew.  

Here's a rendition from EQ8 of what the baskets will look like around the center medallion.  This round is more labor intensive, the next 'round' will be easier.....I think.

According to the long-range forecast, it looks like we might finally get some actual snow....remember snow in California?  Meanwhile, the snowblower has been sitting in the garage so ling it's basically a decorative sculpture at this point. Time to haul it out, give it a pep talk, and hope it decides to cooperate. Those things can be testy little beasts, especially when you need them the most.  Honestly, I should probably dust off my shovel too as something tells me I'm going to be getting way more quality time with it than I'd like. Good quilting weather!

Soon,

Lynn
