Below Zero in February

This was started early in February when it was below zero and I needed something bright to work on. It is hand pieced and machine quilted.
And it's back below zero.

At least it was this morning when I went for a 4 mile walk - Sunny, 8 degrees and 4 below wind chill...........Brisk!!!


Now it's almost 20!!!


These are produce bags - from BeanieG. Quick project from a fat quarter.


This is a quilt for Ele's Place - along with a large duffle and a tote bag. The fabric is all used up!!!




Lansing Area Patchers has a fabric challenge each year. This year someone else picked the fabrics - you got a piece of the focus fabric and one of six that coordinated. I made up the "rules" and packaged all the fabric. It was called Back to Basics - you had to use basic black, it had to have a basic 9 patch and it had to be a basic shape.




I had all the leftover fabric - so I use it up!!!! The hexagon is my entry - "Black Widow". The black art piece showcases all the fabric and the 9 patch is quilted in.



The other is a small baby quilt - 2 sided - and the fabric is all used up. Thank goodness...it is butt ugly!!!

Nice use of the fabric --- a perfect choice for a baby! I have a plan --- whether it gets executed (good choice of words?!) is another thing.
