Yes, Anita, we are cold here. About -2 and aboout -24 windchill.
I'm following a pattern out of the book "Ragged Edge Flowers". It calls for two fabrics. I picked a light blue with a space print and another with a navy blue stripe. All of the pieces are cut on the bias and then the flaps are sewn to give the effect like "cathedral windows"
I didn't think about it that the striped fabric would look funny once it was cut on the bias. Plus, the space print fabric just looks too busy with the cathedral windows look.
I got most of if sewn together yesterday, but then I realized that I'm almost out of thread. I never would have thought in a million years that I would use a whole spool of orange thread. I don't remember using it...EVER! :)
Once I get the thread I'll finish it up and post a pic...it shouldn't really take me too long now.
