I decided to get at least one of the samples for TOWQS done to take back with me.
This is Winter #577 by Country Threads.
It is fusible applique, so the next step is to decide how to anchor the shapes...
buttonhole stitch around them all or
stitch them down as I quilt.
The second choice will be faster, but I will let the girls at the shoppe decide which finish they want.
I also managed to catch up with my Civil War BOWs.

I have been talking about a red and white quilt for some time now, so I finally started it.
I am fascinated by the illusion created by these two color HSTs.
Half the block looks like white triangles on red and the other half looks like red triangles on white.
I'll be using this illusion in my setting design.
I only have 540 HSTs to make and 57 more of these 3" finished blocks!
Better get busy!
I love everything you're working on. The Winter quilt is really cute. Have a great day. Hugs.
