Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Kona Snow, that is.

And the other kind, too. It's been snowing here since yesterday morning and, as the song goes, it doesn't show signs of stoppin'.

And since I've no place to go -- gotta sew, gotta sew, gotta sew!

I committed to a red/aqua block for Project Improv, but I don't have many good reds in my stash for some reason -- a situation I would quickly remedy if a) we didn't have eight inches of snow on the ground and more one the way and b) I hadn't cut myself off from buying any fabric until the quilt show in April. Which is when I plan to make up for it.

So I dug. It took me a while, but I found some wonderfully whimsical Jan Mullen reds buried deep in a box, some aquas and -- inspired by the weather -- some Kona Snow and lo and behold! We have Block #2:


And here's Block #1 in its entirety:


I haven't yet decided on an improvisational project beyond the charity quilt blocks, but it may have to involve the red/white/aqua color combo, it's just so dang cheery -- and in the throes of a winter snowstorm, it's a nice little bit of sunshine.

Which means I have to keep digging through my stash for more reds.

It's much more fun than shoveling.
