more spring -more Christmas

It's trying very hard to be Spring. Me too. I had ice cream at dairy queen yesterday, and noticed that they had free cones on March 20th. I guess I was a little late. But it was still yummy. The weatherman says we could have a big snowstorm this weekend. It can try to spoil Spring, but it can't.

Still cutting my Christmas fabric. I have loved everyone's comments and stashes. One minute I am singing a happy dance, because I have the coolest fabrics in the universe, and the next minute, I am grumpy because I will never get it all sorted and certainly not in one lifetime. But, today, this minute, I am busy cutting for a quilt. It is called Holiday Party and is in American Patchwork and quilting magazine December 2016 issue.

It uses 1 1/2 inch strips and I have some lime green greens. I have cut the reds ( and my finger)

I really liked the solid khaki color with the red and greens in the quilt, so I searched my stash, since I am trying to downsize, and I found 2 perfect pieces, but neither was big enough, And I didn't want to combine them.  sigh.....Time to think...

Right in front of me was this  great choice.

It's not solid and it is a border, but the color is perfect. And I own it. And it will help it be useful. And I am singing a happy song.
