Midweek: SAHRR surprise


Looking out the front door at 10 a.m.  The storm has been predicted for three days.  3"? 6"? 8"?  I'm glad we don't have to go anywhere today.  






Old Town awaits the outer border. I am hoping that the little checkerboards didn't stretch out on the edges . . .



BUT!





I did not have any units on hand for this week's Stay at Home Round Robin prompt for "slashed/sliced" blocks.  I had to resort to sewing but that was no hardship. They were easy to make and,  miraculously, they fit perfectly.

  4. I love snow days! It is a rainy day here. You and I are on the same place on the mystery quilt! Don't you just love a checkerboard border? This is Julie, of JulieKQuilts. Have no idea why I cannot sign in, lol!

  5. The grass is still poking through the snow so we might have an inch now, in what they are saying is the heaviest snow period. It looks like Chicago might be getting more than us and that is where the reports are coming from.
    Your round robin quilt is so cute! How big is it now?

  6. Wow! Your SAHRR is looking spectacular! It's been snowing all day. Looks like several inches now and it's pretty darned cold in this old farm house. Might have to go put on another layer of clothing!

  7. Your SAHRR is looking wonderful! The snow is just beginning here, at the moment looking like half rain-half snow. We'll likely end up with more icy surfaces by tomorrow.

  9. I'm trying to devote February to the less amusing (to me) finishing and binding steps for several quilts that have stalled. Your projects are tempting me to work on something fun instead. Our snow is melting away at a great rate but it looks like you all are really in the deep freeze in IL.

  10. I suspect it must involve math to get the borders to fit as the quilt grows. Not my strong suite so glad I'm not attempting it. Yours is looking spectacular so far.
