Last weekend for February 2016

It's the final deer hunting weekend for the 2015/2016 season, well, it is the final season for my husbands deer lease.  We will be heading down in Southeast Texas and will get to spend more days with Reed and Henry.  Packing up and heading down tonight. 


Last night while watching Midsomer Murder's on Acorn TV I worked on The Needle Niche BOM project, which I will be ending up with two versions of.  Happily, I am continuing to make a first block from Reproduction fabrics and for some reason that block looks better than the block using 30's fabric.  I had previously completed my Repro block and cut the 30's fabric for the BOM version. I run into more issues with the second block than the first block but I'm too afraid to make the 30's block first as it is supposed to be from a limited supply of provided fabric - but then again, ;)  it is a controlled scrappy 30's finished quilt blocks so who is going to know that my fabrics used in the block do not match other participants blocks.  Another reason for the success of the reproduction fabric blocks could be due to the chosen fabric coming from my own stash, but more than likely it's success is from my own OCD mentality not screaming YOU'RE GOING TO MESS IT UP! 


Nearing the ending Midsomer Murder, I continued matching squares of neutral to yellow for the 2015 Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt.   I've decided to take the slower road on piecing this mystery.


Going to be a great drive with the Redbud trees blooming!
