More mild weather this week meant time for several walks--Camp Logan (Illinois Beach State Park) and three forest preserves:Sedge Meadow River Trail, Raven Glen West, and Rollins Savanna.
Top right: milkweed pod. Center: "winter berries" is my generic name; moss is about the only green this time of year. Bottom: ground cherries; Indian hemp, aka dogbane, pods. Here's more about dogbane.

I'm not sure how I'll set them.
Since blue is the January RSC color this is my entry.

Last week I showed a possibility for the MQG mini swap. I wasn't crazy about it. I tried something else. That didn't click, either. Third time's the charm and now the mini-quilt is ready to be quilted. It's still a surprise so you only get a peek. I'll mail it this week.
Linking up with RSC at So Scrappy Oh Scrap! Design Wall Monday
so great that you used the leftovers from one quilt for another!
ReplyDeletenice blue and white.....here it is definitely spring 50s all week...no flakes yet....lawns still green...
ReplyDeletePretty stars from your leftovers, looking forward to seeing how you decide to set them. A bit of snow on the ground here, though nowhere near what we usually have.
ReplyDeleteThose blue stars will make another wonderful quilt. It's always a bonus when the leftovers can go right into another project. I have a guild swap project that I'm ready to hand quilt, and will go into the car with me in a couple of weeks for a long road trip.
ReplyDeleteGreat blue blocks! Off to a great start on using up scraps.
ReplyDeleteEven when it's winter there are interesting things to see in nature. You've got some fun photos of those. The star blocks are fun, what a great way to use up the left overs. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDelete20 yards!!! Better get stitching! Love your star blocks with the four patches!
ReplyDeleteAnother great star quilt in the works. And zowie! 20 yards of quilting fabric? Terrific. You'll be making something wonderful with all (or lots) of that.
ReplyDeleteHi Nann, Your blue stars are beautiful. They will make a great quilt.
