Oregon or Bust

My friend, Isabelle, in France and I are making a quilt together. The pattern is from Bonnie Hunters book, Scraps & Shirttails II.  The block is called Oregon or Bust.
 We decided at the first of the year we would make 2 different blocks for each of us, each month.  That means we have 4 blocks each to make, each month.  The two blocks above are the two I received from Isabelle for January.  They are so very nice.

These six blocks are what I am sending Isabelle, for January, February, and March.  Once I got started, I could not stop. I hope she is going to like these.
The quilt is to measure 85 x 100 and has 50 blocks.  It is going to be fun to see how all our blocks are going to play together.

My head cold is finally over and now  my husband has a sinus infection.  Our weather has been very different this winter and I think it has aided in our health issues. It got up to 42 today.  There is only a small pile of snow in our front yard.  Tonight it is raining.  There is a possibility of some snow on Sunday.Who knew!!  I have heard that crocus and daffodil bulbs are breaking through the ground.

Saturday looks to be a sewing day.  Pride of the Prairie Quilt Guild is having a sewing day from 9:00  am to 9:00  pm.  I have two tote bags with things I would like to work on.  Backs need to be made for the two tops I finished in January.
At Thursday sew days I have been working on Edyta Sitar's Dresden Star. It is going to take a bit of time to finish that top.  Maybe it will be ready by the next sew day comes along.

Have a great weekend.  Hope whoever is your favorite will win the "Super Bowl".  It should be a good game to get some handwork done!
Happy Quilting
