Cold with a capital C!
 |
| someone went out in their bare feet! Brrr! |
Last week, about this time we were looking at -37 degrees, hitting the lowest of -45 on Saturday morning!
Montana was the coldest place in the world those couple of days! Colder than Antarctica! When do I get a penguin?!
 |
| how 'bout the new Pantone color of the year...Radiant Orchid, right outside on a cold day! |
While the rest of the household went into hibernation/stoke-the-woodstove mode, I got busy with the sewing machine!
That's right, I got out my Block of the Month quilt top from 2012!
 |
| pinned it |
My first ever BOM, by Jeni Baker at InColorOrder
 |
| quilted it |
(I think it is now in her pattern shop as HST Sampler)
 |
| FINISHED it!! |
 |
| I made an extra block for the back. I LOVE it! |

| The Nash, ever helpful! |
The finished quilt measures 53" x 67"
I bought the fabrics at an LQS, while back in Indiana, such a treat!
My three original Fat Quarters were Nancy Halvorsen, the lighter red, green, and blue plaid.
When I went back for more, I filled in with Renee Nanneman's warm and rich brown, gold, red, blues.
The border, binding and backing are all my favorites from Renee Nanneman
Before I got the sewing machine put away, something else happened, but that is another story for another post, soon :) So much quilty fun in the cold!

Brrrrr!! Hope it is warming up there...otherwise you might want to look into getting a penguin to have as a mascot :). Your sampler turned out beautiful!! Must feel good to finish that one up!
I. Can't. Even. Imagine. wow!! But I sure like the colors in your quilt...not so sure about that Pantone Color of the Year.
