Yep, I agree, that orange does creep up on you and make you start liking it. I've always disliked it intensely, but I'm beginning to warm up to it some. The things you do for your grandchildren! Gotta' love 'em!

We had a dusting of snow Friday night but nothing like you've got, LJD, thank goodness. It's 16 degrees now though. Brrr. 🙂

Lovely block, Mona. More oranges! Am going to start looking around to find an orange print for myself. I've disliked it forever yet I love cheddar. It's not stretch from cheddar to orange. Hmmm. Never thought about that before. Cheddar is mostly orange. My, my.
Joanelizbay, beautiful block. I love your use of red in it.

I added red to mine and it makes it pop I think. I was looking for a blue to match my focus fabric and wouldnt you know out of a dozen or more "blues" not a single one matched the blue in the focus?? UGH...I agree with Janice..I wish connecting threads would bring this pattern back in any of the colors they had!!

We are in the deep freeze again -9, but thankfully no wind.
Dropped off my Boom 16 quilt to the longarm quilter yesterday. Finished tote bag for my hairdresser. Now off to church after that groceries and then some more sewing.

I love the sample blocks, ladies. It's really cold here too. My husband is getting ready for the play off game between the Steelers and the Dolphins, So I am in my sewing room organizing and trying to find something to sew until my Boom fabrics arrive. I might just try my hand at QAYG today, It is on my bucket list.
By the way, My fabric will be mailed on Monday. Our furnace went out yesterday and I did not make it to the post office.
