Monday Goals--Congratulations Henrietta!!

Did anyone follow the Scrap Basket Sensations by Kim Brackett blog tour giveaway?  I did!   And  Henrietta won one!  (I am SO jealous!!)  She is already trying to decide between about five different quilt patterns.  Seriously, check out this book, there are so many awesome quilts it would be hard to pick just one.    

The Magic Stars book is still being played with.  Yesterday I was cutting out two more blocks, I wanted to try some blocks with my favorite stripe.   There were several interruptions.  I'm not sure if I made a mistake during cutting or trimming but--

The block on the right is the correct block, the left block--well, I made an error somewhere.  But hey--check out the stripes and the intersections--they still came out pretty perfect!  

The Chunky Churn Dash blocks are now sewn in rows.  Set them on point, and I'm trying to decide color/size of the setting triangles.  They will hang there while I think.  There are 56 Sister's Choice blocks done, and I've decided to make a few more.  Worked on the Cherry Tree blocks, but none finished this week.   


For the next week---

1. 16 more Sister's Choice blocks--that will set them 8x9
2. Work on Cherry Tree blocks
3. One more Magic Star block
4. Pull a UFO to work on

The weather?  Well, so far we haven't had near the snow we could have.  But its still snowing and blowing tonight.  Here is the deck this morning--the first snow was very hard--more like hard little snowballs--and it stuck tight to the sleet/ice that was underneath it.  

I don't remember snow falling through the deck boards quite like this before.     It felt strange when you walked on it, like walking on tiny crunchy marbles.   Most of the interstate in South Dakota is closed.  Many schools are closed.  I'm staying home.
