HST February BOM

February block from the BOM from In Color Order.  Flying geese made out of HST.




For this quilt, I am using this stack of lovelies - all Kona solids.




Here was January's block:






Finally, great game last night!




Happy Stitching!

Cracked open my Butterscotch & Roses

Happy times!


Making impossibly tiny stars so needed very tiny squares.

Rainbow Row - Move in Ready!

Rainbow Row - my entry into this month's Year of Schnibble's parade - is complete and the houses are ready for someone to move in!




The pattern is Full House by Carrie Nelson.
The fabric used was Sassy by Sandy Gervais.




I had a plan to FMQ each of the houses differently so first I did an all over basic meander everywhere but the outer border and houses.  The outer border got a wavy line treatment.  Then I did each house differently than its neighbor.  I am very pleased with the finished results but can't say I really achieved enough variety in the FMQ of each house. Right now, I didn't do anything to the roofs. Still thinking about that.  (Wish I had left the doors alone as well.) 




I had a lot of fun with this pattern.  Not sure I'll join in every month but I am now excited,  waiting for the parade and the unveiling of the February pattern.  (For more information, go here or here.)






Happy Stitching!
