Top Done, BOM again, Etc.

I was determined this week to finish the top I started last fall when I sewed along with Barb V. making basket blocks.


All the edge triangles were cut so all I had to do was add the borders. 


The blue one is 1" and the floral is 5-1/2". 

 
I wasn't happy with the BOM in last week's post so did another. This one looks so much better! 

 
I tried to capture the Super Blue Moon on my early morning walk the other day. This was around 6:15 a.m.


Yesterday our windshield was covered in ice creating such pretty patterns. Click on the pics :)


You can see the shadows of the trees in the background.  


I bought a new bird feeder at Costco and look who found it. I wasn't surprised to see this squirrel go head first to get the seed :)

Yay for the Olympics! I'm watching, are you? 

Have a wonderful week!

  1. Oh that naughty squirrel - they can sure find a new food source quickly. Your basket quilt is filled with such rich colors and piecing perfection! Watched the curling, moguls and ice skating last night & looking forward to the opening ceremonies today. My own Olympic sewing marathon has now begun.

  2. Gorgeous! I adore those baskets. I love that border print and I still have a yard left. And I see you like corner blocks like I do. I just love the whole thing! And, yes I am always excited about the winter Olympics. There is something about watching a human body fly down a mountain at 100 miles an hour on two spindly sticks that really excites me. However, ski jumping is my favorite event.
