I finally started sewing the blocks for my Canadian Northwind quilt. This is my quilt to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday. I have been collecting various red on white fabrics and white on red fabrics for a long time. I have reds that are bright Christmas reds to deep burgundy and my whites are bright sparkling white to creams. I love the variety. It makes the blocks interesting.
The patterns on the fabric varies a lot too. There are polka dots, circles, strips, plaids, flowers, stars, hearts and many, many other motifs. I just love love it! I am glad I have a legitimate excuse to finally start this red and white quilt. I am trying to reduce my list of quilts on my list, but.....oh well....

While I am making these Northwind blocks I am working on my leader/ender. I am really moving along on these. For each block I get four 4-patches completed. I now have 150 blocks made. This is great! I am going to get this quilt done with little effort.
I have to take I break from this for a few days. I have to get back to some renovations this week, while I have the extra hands to help me. I am working on my living room now and currently working on the ceiling. I am adding 2' wide bulk heads with pot lights around the perimeter of the room. I am sure I will sneak in a few minutes here and there, but mainly it will be renos.
Hoping everyone will take some time this weekend with family, to celebrate family day, this Monday.
