We are having a fairly serious snowstorm today. This morning, we got out early to do a few errands - gas, milk, bagels, money machine. Then we hunkered down, and the snow started right at 11:30 as the weatherman had predicted. And it "poured." By dinner time we had at least 6" and nothing was moving outside except the snowplows.
I spent the morning working on some 6" snail's trail blocks for a swap, and then I started working on another set - 6" orange peels. The background is Craftsy's "boundless" cream and the "peels" use a set of William Morris charms I've had around for quite a while. Love the subtle colors. I'll square it up to size when they're all done.
I still have some Grandmother's fan blocks to applique, and then the five sets I signed up for will be done. Maybe I'll make another set or maybe I'll just make a few sets that no one else has signed up to do to fill out my quilt. They aren't due til the end of September, so I have time to decide.
I had been thinking of doing a project with selvages today - maybe I'll work on them tomorrow if we're still snowed in...

sounds like winter doesn't want to leave you alone! we are going back to what we call winter for the next couple days - 40's and low 30's at night - chilly for us after two nice days in the 70's - when it drops over 20 degrees it feels chilly. Sounds like a good time for you to stay home and quilt.
