I showed this unfinished project on Dec. 29th, 2008. This is the pile of pieces as they have been sitting for more than 3 years after I cut them swirling in the wrong direction. Because I didn't have enough fabric to re cut them I decided to go ahead and sew them and work them in.
I had also run out of the center fabric to cut new centers for this stack so on the left is the substitute fabric which might be from the same line of fabric but isn't quite as dark.
After a little more than 2 hours I am at this point. (And after ripping a few)
Luckily there was a 3 hour block of new shows on last night to watch while I sewed. It took that long to create the 12 new blocks. Here is a new one on the left, old one on the right. The centers might not be noticed when the quilt is assembled. They are swirling 2 different directions in their piecing, but I think that is going to go unnoticed too. Now I need to trim all of the blocks to one size.
The back security light came on last night but I didn't see any critters. Yes, we have snow again.
We got a little over an inch yesterday morning and then it started in again late afternoon. It hadn't filled in all of the squirrel prints yet at 11 p.m. but this morning they are all covered up. This is the top 2 branches from the tree that decided to lean on my house. My brother just hauled them over after he cut them off and they will lay there all winter for the squirrels and birds to play on.
