Winter has gripped our area again. We're are staying in the house to keep warm. Hubby and I are staying with our grands while their parents are in Key West. Hum, why didn't we think to do that? We're having fun during our visit. I'll share some of the visit at the end.
First it's time for my goals. Here's last week's list.
1/9/2023
✅Continue with RSC blocks in blue
✅Work on January UFO Challenge — Moose quilt
👎🏼Work on Spider Web blocks — sew blocks into “foursys”. Decide how many more blocks needed and make them — A few more blocks sewn but didn’t get far.
✅Spend 15 minutes a day cleaning up the studio — Most days 20 minutes were spent cleaning around the studio. And I can see a difference. More needs to be done though.
Here's the result of two of my goals. First is the progress on the Moose quilt. I decided on using some 3.5" squares to separate the pictures. I'm using a brown which has some light colors in it to accent the pictures. (Sorry you can't see the light highlights in that dark brown in the picture.) The short brown piece above the bigger moose picture was just to see how a brown strip would look across the quilt. When I have a chance I'll be adding a brown strip above and below the second strip of pictures. I hope I can get this finished by the end of the month... at least to top stage.
I was able to get a sample RSC block done in blues. Here are the results. Hum, I need to make sure there are light colors in each quarter of the block. I haven't decided how many I'm going to make but maybe 2 of each of the 10 colors. This block is 9" finished. I generally make lap size quilts with RSC blocks. We'll see what I decide this year.

I'm ready to get some piecing done and hopefully I'll be able to when the grands are at school over the next few days.
Happy Quilting All! Bonnie
I really like the browns with the blues. It really brings the attention back to the moose blocks. You have a really patient dog and that look on his face in the second picture is priceless!
