The top is done.

With the blast of cold weather and winter going down a rabbit hole and hibernating is exactly what happened. Work continued and the blocks got sewn together in rows. borders was added and a victory lap was added to keep all the seams from flip flopping when quilting starts.
Baby quilts created with panels happens and one was finished with scraps of binding. The binding box with leftovers was pulled and a few pieces got sorted, added to projects that need binding. Some have starts others are still needing more work. The piles of projects got sorted and packed away for now, important for the space to be cleared. For months it was waiting and that finally happened.
A kitty quilt was requested, that is awaiting some quilting. More snow fell and we continue to clear snow as soon as we can. Life continues with birthdays and celebrations, cake is baked by request for the person who is celebrating a milestone. This one requested a Victoria Sponge, by Mary Berry.

  4. Well done on getting BH's Mystery to a flimsy! Love the colors. Pretty baby quilt too. Sponge cake with fresh strawberries and cream or strawberry jam is a favorite in Norway too.
