Yesterday I was able to stay home almost the whole day. I had made a few more blocks for this quilt two nights in a row and I decided I am done with it. I sewed the top together and it is 49" x 63". That isn't too bad for a lap size. One more row would be nice, but it isn't going to happen. The reds are really more of a coral color in the medium shades. I like to call it soft red.
I think I will have to do this pattern again but with less contrast between the darks and lights, or just busier prints. A lot of these read as solid colors and I think it looks a little choppy.
The sun is trying to shine today and I hope we get above freezing. Winter still drags on.....
