Not much time in the sewing room that weekend, but generally I like winter for the extra time I get to quilt. We keep getting snow, but smaller amounts now; it still has to be shoveled which cuts into play-time.<br /><br />I'm a planner when it comes to making a quilt but I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone and "wing it". I might be too German for that!

The city has been virtually shut down all week, but at least the power stayed on!<br />Lovely pictures. I might start with a block pattern, but then I wing it from there.
