The best thing about the weather is that it awakens my desire to quilt again. Using the iron doesn't make me want to dunk my head in a tub of ice any more. ;)

I got all the too-small blocks fixed, lost a snowball block, hasty made another, and finally put the entire quilt together. I had a couple of border fabrics to select from, I posted them onto a forum I frequent and by far the black with colorful scroll won. :)
Now the top is set aside until I get some more batting. I'm planning to get roll of 30 yards for my birthday next month. Should last me for a couple dozen quilts. :D
I've also been enjoying some fruits and veggies lately. Here's a freaking huge peach that was on sale a couple weeks ago!

Big as my hand, and took me about 20 minutes to gobble it up. Yum. :)
Hopefully hot tea will be in my future soon!

Leah, I would really like to make a quilt like this. BTW, I've followed your blog for quite some time and I think Black and brights are your trademark.
I think you're not the only one inspired to sew by this cool weather! I've noticed and increase in posts around the quilty blogs lately. Lol*
Love your newest project, the border is PERFECT! :)
I would have guessed you had the border first and pulled fabrics to go with it. *s* Very pretty quilt! And that peach looks delicious!
great job on the top :)
I was just going to email you asking where you were again. I did the snowball swap as hostess and there were so many problems with the blocks :(
It's why I stopped doing swaps with that group. But I like you, got very friendly with the seam ripper ...peach looks yummy
Beautiful Leah!

Oh what a beautiful quilt, I just love the colors! What an awesome border you found for it. I'm thinking I should make something like that with my batiks.
The quilt is gorgeous. I love it with the black. It really pops.
