I'm
staying true to my loose ends theme with this latest lap quilt. I used up more scraps and
completed another unfinished project. I
sewed these random strips last spring while we were camping, with
the idea of using them as a border. As I laid some out on the design
wall, another thought came to mind. I sewed a simple rail fence block
using solid pale yellow on either side of the scrappy strips.
Depending on how you look at it, they appear woven like a lawn chair
or floating on a field of yellow.
We
had nearly nine inches of fluffy, beautiful snow last Friday and
Saturday, one of the biggest 24-hour totals I've seen since we moved
up here on the ridge. For once the weather folks were nearly spot-on
in their predictions. It was perfect for snow cream! I made two big
batches of sweet goodness, then worked it off by shoveling the back
sidewalk.

Notion: Quilters never grow old. They just go to pieces.
