February Quiltathon….

Is getting off to a slow start. Yesterday the deep south was hit with a snowstorm, and ironically, the further south, the more snow. We are a bit north of Atlanta, so we didn’t get a whole lot, but before I had my first cup of coffee, I had to try for some snow photos.  Then, during my coffee, the sun started to come up and glisten-the stuff winter wonderlands are made of.  I’m not a great photographer, but here is a bit of my morning.  Before the sun (or coffee): and then  as the sun came up

Meanwhile, back in the sewing room, I have finally finished the stars for JudyL’s Star BOM. 

It is time to do the sashing and setting triangles, but as I am looking at the fabrics I selected so long ago, I don’t like the way they work with the blocks. This was the original choice for setting square:

The bright/light green as the field, the mottled green/coral as some of the detail.  I’ve thought of reversing it, like this:

The mottled as the field, the bright as the detail.  Somehow, neither is working for me……..I think I’m about to spend time digging through the stash to find a better fit.
