Although the ice coating on everything is pretty, it is definitely not safe to be driving or walking in this weather.
It was safe to stay inside and quilt though. :)
By 11:00 pm, I had finished making all the blocks for the Got Stripes quilt - with the exception of one. I was short a green background strip. I need to cut some green background pieces to finish the last block and to replace some pieces in a block that is already pieced into the quilt top. I made the mistake of reversing one piece of background fabric--front for back so I will need to do some reverse sewing.
I also finished the binding on my Fire Escape quilt. After finishing the binding, I spread the quilt out over the table to take a picture.
A picture without the flash shows the colours of the quilt to be a little closer to reality and shows the swirl quilting design a little better.

From the angle with the light off the deck (at least I think it is the deck, LOL) you can really see the quilting! Love the colors in the quilt and that black adds just the right amount of POW. Hurray for a finish!
I bet you are really close to a finish on the Got Stripes as well if that block is fixed and all the rows are joined.
Now we gear up for Popsicle Sticks! I still say the stripe block looks a whole lot like the PopStix.
Your pictures of the trees are beautiful as well as your quilts. Xo
Oh very pretty. I agree, the ice is beautiful but dangerous. We just got rain down here - and thankful that we are just that little bit warmer than you are - but it sure did rain.
