Faith restored; spring is here

Being deprived, no not depraved, of something surely makes it more appreciated when it arrives.  Isn't the sun just marvelous.  I know don't remind me this summer that I said that.  It just makes you feel good to see the sun shining and temps in 70's not 90's.  Each day brings something good and bad.  This beautiful weather comes with the passing of C's mom.  She will be missed.
I have finished the final calendar hanging for my neighbor K for April. Here it is.  She likes Pink.
The next two pictures are blocks for the BOM at M E's.  After the second one I have had thoughts about my decision to take on this quilt!!! I learned on the first one that you had to look at the second picture to see how to put the units together.  Silly me put the square in a square together then the dark border with corner stones.  Had to take that apart because cornerstones are part of the unit with dark green and cream.  Oh well.

Those feathery things do not all go the same way!!! I had to take them apart and when they start at triangles from a 1 and 7/8 inch square that is not easy.  If you lose a thread or two yikes!! You will notice I did not show the back.  It is suggested you press the seams connecting the units open which leads to burned fingers.
I do like to see how blocks like this are constructed.  Now to some smaller ones.
Tiny quilting.
