Cherry Limeade


There may be snow outside and the temperature down to almost nothing - but I am dreaming of summer.

The colors of the lime and hot pink remind of a Sonic cherry limeade. This is the first block I made using this pattern. I see several mistakes in it...so probably will not use it in the quilt - but it can be my pattern. This design is called "Quatrefoils" from the "Quilterscache" website.

It seems like it has been weeks since I have sewn anything. Felt good to slide back into the chair sitting in front of the sewing machine once again.

I am fortunate in the fact I have one room that is dedicated to crafts. Primarily it is for sewing - but when I do "scrapbooking" I sit up a table in there too. What is nice, I can leave everything up and ready for the next time I need it, walk out and close the door behind me if I want.

I love your choice of fabrics. I have the flowered print and I wondered what to use with it, so now I love your color choices. I think it looks very Springy! Very nice block. Can't wait to see more of it.

It is time for some hot colors....I am tired of winter blah! i love Sonic cherry lime aide with lots of ice!

I have a sewing room too, but it doubles as a guest bedroom. Good thing we don't have many guests!

I don't see any mistakes in it - I think it looks great! Nice and bright colors. I have a craft room too! It is so nice not having to 'pick up' when done!
