Yes...it looks a mess....but believe me it is controlled chaos. I am now sewing the pairs together. But this mess is me selecting Autumn colored fabrics for the 4-patches. I managed to pick fabrics that are NOT in my half square triangles.
My "tubs" are soooo full. but they are a great size for me to wrestle around. Not too small, not to big, just right!
I shoveled this drive 5 times today. Yes you read me right. We have a BIG snowblower that drags me around and frankly scares me. So I shoveled all during the snow to keep it manageable. I did fall down twice. My knee is not happy. Bruised and bleeding...but I was able to go right back to work on the snow. So I guess I will live.
And doesn't the house across the street look great? My friend had all new windows and doors installed.
Too bad tomorrow is garbage day. Those bins sure spoil the view.
No birds eating at these feeders except for the green one. If you ever buy this type of feeder you will be pleased to know that squirrels are totally thwarted. They cannot get to the seeds. They try but fall off every time. Trouble is, the birds prefer the wooden feeders. Maybe the metal is cold on their little toes. But they will go to it eventually. I had a pair of Cardinals at the picture window feeder today. Along with Mourning Doves and my sparrows of course. The Blue Jays called for peanuts and I threw them out on the drive but they never got them.?????? They have me trained so well. Squirrels knock on the window and the Jays call me.
I have not seen the hawks today. But then I did spend a lot of time outside making shovel noise.
I tried using the units I made for the Crabapple quilt. But since the center of the quilt is based on 4-patches I felt it did not do justice to the quilt. Never fear....I will use these for something yet!
Here is my choice. I decided to use the same size patches as in the center of the stars after I added a 2 1/2" cream border. Everything fit perfectly!
Now I think I need to add another row of patches to mimic the 16 patches in the centers.
But need to stop sewing for the day. I have a doctor's appointment....DARN!!!
