I’ve been complaining that this is the first January ever without any snow. Well, I woke up this morning to 6 inches of fresh powder! Wahoo! I didn’t want to expose my precious camera to the snow, so I hope these iphone photos of my progress on the barn door quilt do it justice. I really love it.
I ran into some trouble with some of the ends not being quite long enough (I’m looking at you, chambray!), so I decided to cut the end pieces longer and then trim down once I get the pieces together. I was hoping to already have this done when I showed you my progress, but oh well.
Hopefully the snow will continue to fall and will give me no choice but to stay home and work on this 🙂
Linking up with Sarah Quilts with this week 4 update as well as WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced.
Looks great!
Thanks Daisy!
Boy I don’t know. I just might like this better than my own. It is so cool!!
You are far too kind!
I love the light/dark contrast you have going on. Very cool!
Thanks Sarah! This is the first quilt I’ve pre-planned and sketched out my color scheme and I’m really happy with how it came out.
Gorgeous! The snow is the perfect backdrop.
Thanks Fran! I agree, the snow makes everything look better!
It looks amazing, as does the snow!!
Thanks Lucy! I was SO excited to see the snow today. We’re up to a foot now!
that is absolutely stunning!
Thanks for the sweet comment, Samantha!
I love this quilt, the colours are gorgeous and work so well in the design. And I’m very envious of your snow too!
Thanks Sally! I am a bit obsessed with this palette right now and am excited about how it’s looking. We’re up to a foot of snow now and it’s still coming down. Wahoo! 🙂
The barn door is coming along nicely! I might be tempted yet…. I especially love the outdoor, snowy pics you took of it!
I’m going to keep posting fun pictures to tempt you (evil laughter). Oh and now we have over a foot of snow, so I guess I do get a snow day afterall! 🙂
Absolutely loving the fabrics you’ve chosen – enjoy the snow 🙂
Thanks Serena! I will! Just went out with the dog and it almost covers his whole body. haha.
Great colour choices you’ve got going on there, I had high hopes of joining in the quilt-along but haven’t even confirmed fabric yet!
You should join in!!! You’re definitely not too late. I think Sarah is extending it because most people are behind. I decided to do a baby-size version so that also helped speed things up. I’d love to see your version of one!
Wow that looks great…the barn door looks great…it looks great on the barn door with the snow…love it!
Thanks so much! I’m lucky I live in such a photogenic area!!! 🙂
It’s looking gorgeous! I just love the colors, and I love the pictures you take on your barn
Hey Kelsey! Thanks! It’s nice to have cute options that are under cover! 🙂
Love, love, love!! And your photo’s are just gorgeous, i always love your photo’s!
Ah, thanks Nicole, aka snips! 🙂 I was pretty hilarious today in my pajamas and snowboots trying tack the pieces up.
Oh how beautiful! The colors are wonderful and I love how it looks with all the snow.
Thanks Lea! 🙂
So pretty – I’m loving the contrast between the blue and green sections. Also – way to be on schedule with the quilt-a-long! You deserve serious kudos for that, because I’m really far behind. I only have the center section done still. Shame…
Thanks! I’m pretty excited about how it’s coming together. The center section took me way longer than everything else. So I’m guessing you’ll be caught up in no time!
Very pretty! Love those pics with the fresh fall of snow! Congrats on your progress, Michelle!
Many thanks Lorna! I’m just loving the snow. I hope you have a wonderful Friday!
This is looking fantastic! I love the colours you’ve used. Love the snowy backdrop and this would look great with a seaside background too!
Thanks so much! I agree this would look great with a seaside backdrop. Maybe it’s time to plan a vacation 🙂
love the photos in the snow, on the barn door! perfect. and it’s looking really great, too. such wonderful, cool colors. my pile is still sitting on my table. uncut. =(
Thank you! I’m hoping the snow sticks around for the photos when I finish it. And, it’s seriously not too late to get started. It comes together really fast!
Looks amazing, great colour scheme.
