Honoring Women's Rights ~ Week 31

Tinted Chains



We are quilting along with Barbara Brackman's

Block of the Week, Grandmother's Choice.

This is how I made my block, it may differ a

bit from the original.

It is Easter Sunday here in the USA.  Finally, it

looks like Spring has arrived though I have heard 

rumors of snow flurries in a few days.  Noooooo!

I am so happy to see Spring-like weather that it 

inspired my fabric choices this week.  Something

bright and happy and floral.
