While I started the project as a way to purge my stash of old-fashioned florals, the more I work with this, the more they are growing on me. The individual fabrics themselves still don't really appeal to me, but I'm liking the way they are coming together.

| Ugh! See that muddy patch in the bottom right? Why do I only notice these things in photographs - AFTER it has been sewn together??? |
I went back to work today...but since we are working from home these days, it means I was still in my sewing room/home office, but I spent it on the computer instead of sewing. When I emerged from a day of virtual meetings and phone calls, it was to this winter wonderland...except my calendar now says spring! I'm not excited about this turn of events!
But, once I was done with work for the day, I was able to turn my attention back to sewing - no dorm duty to worry about since the kids are all at home. And I was smart enough to put dinner in the crockpot this morning before my first meeting even began, so I was FREE to play for the rest of the day!
And if you played along with the quilty adoption, please know that I have emailed Joyce, Joy, Sharon, Becky, Maggie and Mari to send me their addresses so I can send out their tiny adoptees. I'll pop them in the mail as soon as I hear from you.
Be well, everyone!
I'm linking up with Oh Scrap and Monday Making.

I love the way your quilt is looking, so pretty. I can identify with finding a block that doesn't fit after the quilt is pieced together. I'm always glad when I take the time to remove it, otherwise I always look at the piece with regret. We also awoke to snow yesterday morning. The grandsons had so much fun playing, then the snow all melted is gone except for the snowman slowly melting away. Stay home, stay healthy!
I think your top looks very pretty. I wouldn't let one little piece bother you.
The snow is so beautiful. Living in the South, snow is very rare and a welcome treat for most of us. We had snow one day that lasted over night and a sprinkling another day. But mostly all we have is rain. That really gets tiresome!
Have a great day and take care.
I remember going to the quilt show in Sisters back then and as I had seen your quilt in progress, it was easy to spot all the many quilts that used that pattern. Certainly Bonnie Hunter's patterns are attractive. Scraps are tricky to put together and get a good balance. I have spent a lot of time dithering over block arrangement, and then wondering after it is all together if I should have done something else instead. Snow is pretty, as long as it is only in someone else's yard...
We got snow on Monday, too. At least it didn't stick to the roads (I still have to drive to work). Have fun stitching.
