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.
