Start, Finish, Repeat

I started a new project today, but then again, I finished one as well, so I'm holding steady in my number of ongoing projects.

( I am linking up with the TGIFF group today!  If you're visiting from there, welcome, if you want to check out what lots of others have been finishing up this week, press here, TGIFF

I am so loving the new Salt Water fabric collection by Tula Pink for Westminster Fabrics.  There's just something about the color combination that I am drawn to right now:

 coral, pale grey, lime green, turquoise, teal,
Yes, they really are the colors of the sea,

 this is the start of a new quilt I am sewing,

 but if you are interested in other quilts using this collection, you must see the five free downloads that are available!

i don't know which one I like most...

Shoreline...

 Color Blocks

Anchors Aweigh:  

Tranquil Waters:

 In addition to the free patterns, there is a kit for the Salt Water Hexie quilt:

(we have several of the kits in stock, they have 1008 pre-cut fabric hexagons, paper pieces, and the pattern)

And I finished sewing the binding on to this quilt,
 It is a Yellow Brick Road pattern, with some large fussy cut pieces of fabric blended in with the pieced blocks. 

And finally, this is the current state of my Color-blocked Chevron strip quilt,

Snow Day

First snowfall of the season....  and it is quite a lot of snow.  I decided to post lots of photos for those of you who can't just step outside into this wonderland.

the temperature is hovering around freezing point, so I don't suppose the snow will last too long, but it is pretty while it's here!

On another note, I have become quite enamoured of Chevrons.  Also known as ziz-zag quilts, or streak of lightening...   more on this later!
