The second quilt-along block for the snowflake quilt is done. I had a little help this time. Buttercup was very curious about what was going on. Finished block. The first two blocks (of 13). I wondered if there would be enough contrast between the lighter snowflake fabric and the white, but it works fine. Here’s […]
Amandajean’s quilt-along is in week 2. It’s a star quilt. I spent yesterday working in the yard, so didn’t get to the block until today, but it went together easily. I need to find some white fabric to go with the snowflake fabric in the second top I’m making in this quilt-along. I’ll post that […]
We have a lot of flowerbeds in the yard. Sometimes it’s hard to know how to designate them. We’ve never figured out how to name them in an organized manner, so some of them have long names. 🙂 This bed is under the Southern Oak (which we call “the big oak”) behind the house. I […]

I and my friend Tricia have both decided to do Amandajean’s quilt along. We’re both doing two tops. This is the first block for my second top. I had planned to use Christmas fabrics. While looking through the stash, I found the white snowflake print and the blue one and decided to use those instead. […]
I finished putting the blocks together. I’ll rummage the attic stash and see if there is something I can use for the borders. ~~Rhonda
I’ve decided to put together two quilt tops following Amandajean’s quilt along. I finished the first block last night. It’s a star quilt made up of 13 different star block patterns and set with 12 other blocks. I’m making this one in palest pinks, yellows, and blues. I’m want to redecorate the guest room in […]
