No school on Friday meant I could sew!
I love when that happens.

I started this post a few weeks ago. For whatever reason I wasn't getting pictures to upload using the ipad. SO....here I am finally getting a post done on the laptop.

I sewed all the rows or months for my temperature quilt while it snowed and snowed.
This was a couple weeks ago. Since then we have had a wonderful warm up, including a thunderstorm one day. Then last weekend it was another snowstorm, and another snow day. This was followed by windchills below zero. March in northern Iowa!
Now I'm home because of spring break and sewing on my gypsy wife quilt.
This is sections 1, 2, and 7.
They all use the same strips. I am using what is long enough and sitting on top of stuff for easy access. I hope to get this top done before the break is over.
I have lost track of when I got this next quilt top done, I only know it was in the last few weeks.
All excited! Another top finished! Then I looked at the picture and saw it!
Dang, a block is upside down.
Out comes the seam ripper.
There. All better.
The temperature quilt just needs its black borders attached. They are cut and ready to go.
We had a VERY nice November. All of last fall was nice!
Block Lotto this month is blue and white stars. I should have made more for more chances to win. I love these blocks and think the quilt will be gorgeous.
That's it for now. Back to the giant puzzle of fabric called gypsy wife.

Great post - the temperature quilt turned out really well! Funny how we don't see those "wrong" blocks until we're all finished and take a photo . . . (two days ago we were literally freezing, yesterday it was in the mid 30s and today they're suggesting 70s here)
There is a lot of good sewing fun at your house! Is there a pattern for the mini flower quilt?
Great stuff, I can't wait to see them all quilted with binding! I can't even say that I have a favorite, I love them all!
I love those Dresdens! That is a beautiful quilt. I had to really look to find the wrong block, but I finally found it. I'm glad you found it before it was quilted!
Love your Temperature quilt! It would be interesting to do one for here - we have what we jokingly call "bi-polar" weather. It cannot make up it's mind what it's doing here, even in the the course of one day. Of course, I'd have to figure out a way to designate rain days. :) It looks like Iowa has some of that can't-make-up-it's-mind weather too!
