I like that we got snow (even better - the power stayed on!). I haven't had a chance to play in it, but I've at least gone out for a walk to enjoy the beautiful trees. Alas, it may rain by the time I get up and ruin the fluffiness. Enjoy it while I can.
I'm really hoping enough snow will remain to go skiing - maybe this weekend?
It's been pretty quiet. I finished my latest Project Quilting project -
a pink wavy pillow. I was able to get more blues and golds for the quilt. I laid
out a corner of the quilt, photographed it, copied to see what the end result
might look like.
These come close to what I first drew up. I'm debating about flip-flopping it so the ring is blue, not gold. I definitely like the blue center better than the gold. I also have darker gold that I have not auditioned. We'll see. It's progress, regardless!
LeeAnna's prompt this week asks us what's our favorite color? I'm
partial to blues. Honestly, it's hard to pick one color. As a kid
I really liked magenta. Now I lean towards jewel tones, like
Northern Lights
and
Harlequin Opal. I plan on making a quilt for myself soon and the hardest part is
going to be picking the colors!
What a beautiful view you have! You must live close to mountains? I'm partial to blues also. Those are pretty blocks!
ReplyDeleteHope your snow stays fluffy for you :) I like both quilt designs. I'm sure whatever you decide will look nice.
ReplyDeleteOur place looks like yours now. We got a big pile of snow yesterday. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou have a pretty snow view there! I like your blue and yellow quilt design, too. It's interesting how changing the center from blue to yellow changes the whole look - I like the blue center myself. Your jewel toned quilts are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty it looks in your wintry wonderland. The blue gets my vote. =)
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking how relieved I am that temps got high enough to melt the heavy snow off the trees today. Because about 2 minutes ago the wind started roaring, which could have meant a LOT of limb damage. I hope you'll get a chance to ski!
ReplyDeleteBoth blocks are lovely. The blue center does feel more comfortable. Jewel tones are beautiful with a solid dark teal.
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks pretty! I hope you can ski some this weekend. I love blue best!
ReplyDeleteI think most quilters like a lot of different colors. They all have their purpose! I love the blue and yellow quilt. So pretty! We had a good amount of snow but it all got washed away. Weird winter this year!
ReplyDeleteSally - we got about six inches of snow, AND it has been deathly cold since. I am waiting until tomorrow to go out for some Nordic skiing - temps should be a little warmer!
