Shooting Stars

I guess that is the name of this block/quilt. 

I have 4 full blocks completed and 2 sections.  I placed them on the wall and LOVE the intersections of the blocks - a "circle" appears!!!!

I have 4 blocks completed and more cut out.  They are hand pieced and no time is set for getting this done, so they can go slowly.   All blocks have a different stripe and 2 colors that complement the stripe.   I am thinking about using the dark stripe around the blocks - maybe 13 blocks?????    They are almost 20 inches across the diagonal - and I like them set that way - so it will be a good size quilt.

Snow!!!!!!!

 We had a nice six inch snowfall overnight.    This bush by the front deck may be touching the ground some day soon!!!!
 I'm glad I got out for my walk yesterday afternoon when the streets were almost dry!!!
 This is a quilt for a young lady graduating from high school.   It started with a package of 40 ten inch squares.   I have never used something like that, but it made the construction VERY easy.   I did add some more purple blocks.
 The quilting is wavy vertical lines..........just for texture.  
I think this top is done.   If I don't get it quilted soon, I'll start adding more to it.   It is very busy!!!!!
