another snowy day: Big Tree block & accumulation!

Today I've finished my March block
in the Quilt Doodle Doodles sew along.

Here is my half-pint version of the Big Tree,

the third month's block:

The picture sure makes the block look wonky, but it really was close to square :).

And, the fabrics look brighter

than they really are, but I don't know why.

 

I'm calling my blocks 'half-pint', as I'm making them smaller in size

than the pattern that Cindy is offering over at Quilt Doodle Doodles.

My little squares are 3/4 of an inch finished.

 

So, working on this wintry tree block this afternoon,

I turn to look out the window and

it's a blizzard out there!!

Well, not really, but for the last week of March?

Blizzard-like for sure...

I took this picture at about 4 o'clock this afternoon:

That's more than an inch of accumulation in less than half an hour, and it's still coming down!

Even the robins are going under the deck, trying to hide from the snow!

Another snowy day here in central Ohio...

Snowy inside with my wintry, little Big Tree block and
outside with more snowfall predicted for the evening and a wind chill of zero!

Happy Tuesday!
