Fake Spring

Spring doesn't quite seem to want to show it's face in New York, so here's my little contribution. I hope it helps to hurry things along.
I just don't want to think about just how much time it's taken to get this far.

The First Sign of Spring?

Perhaps.

Though it was more spring-like here earlier this week. Now it is drizzly and dreary outside.

sigh.

Don't tell me the groundhog lied to us?

I guess I'll have to make due with my very slowly growing fabric garden.

Ack! Is Quilting Month Over Already!?!

Because I barely got anything cut out, let alone pieced.



Well, O.K., I did do a little piecing.



I guess I misunderstood. I thought "Quilting Month" meant start 5 new quilt projects in 29 days. (Though I did start one in January, and I already had most of the fabric involved in all of these.)
This red & white West fabric has been lying around forever (well, since it was on sale at Reprodepot, anyway)



It is a humbling experience to lay just one of these squares on top of your bed (and ours is only a full-size). and imagine how many other 1 1/2" squares you'll need to cover that sucker up!



Lucky for me, only one of these projects has a real deadline.



And fortunately, it is not this one... yes, this will be hand-pieced. whew.


For me, February was also "sit on the couch while hacking your lungs out and going through multiple boxes of Kleenexes" month, which made tracing templates for hours and hours seem appealingly simple-minded.

Check out these cute and lovely quilts, too! (Check out her flickr set, too!) You know I like this one, too!
