I love the quilt blocks on your desgin wall, how about making a few more of them- they are really tres chic, and very warm and inviting....they would be fabulous as curtains!

Hi Maryanna,
Oh, I've got an awesome view from my windows if you like wildlife; bears, deer, squirrels, raccoon, and of course the neighborhood cats and dog on the loose! This coming snowstorm should put the bears to bed for the winter, YAY!! :thumbup: It DOES tend to get pretty cold here in the winter, so your idea of using a quilt for the window is awesome!! I wish I had some extras, but so far I've given them all away. :) I'll be checking our local thrift store, occasionally I'll see a quilt in there. Don't really have time to make them for two windows, it'll be down to 16° by tomorrow night! BRR!
As for the blocks on my design wall, thanks so much for your compliments. The top row has 6 blocks of 12 of the current BOM "Heartland Heritage" that I'm working on. The lower rows are rows 4 and 5 of 7 of a rather large BOM from a while back called "Scrappy Treasures" and as you can see isn't done yet. That one will be for our bedroom. Both projects are made with a variety of Kansas Troubles fabrics. Yes I agree, they are quite inviting and down to earth, as we are.
Thanks for your great ideas, they'll be used soon. :)
Happy sewing!
