Snowed In - Building Blocks Tuesday

Welcome to another Building Blocks Tuesday!  Here are a few more blocks from the How Far Will You Go? QAL.

Unfortunately, my "snow" dilemma continues.  I guess, "snow" just isn't what I got to begin with, despite how close it looks on the color card.  My most recent order of "snow" doesn't match either, and I also had a chance to stop by an actual quilt shop this weekend.  Their "snow" was also much whiter than mine.

See how much "creamer" my older fabric is?  OK, this is photo was taken in regular indoor light, so maybe it isn't too dramatic.

But in brighter sunlight, you can really see more of a difference!

I have 10 more blocks to go, 3 of which are the really big ones.  This quilt is not intended to have a sashing, so these two different fabrics would be side by side, and I am positive you will notice.  Luckily, the QAL does not require that all the blocks be finished or put into the top.  I think the best thing for me to do is figure out a configuration with the blocks I have.  Instead of a twin size quilt, I will have to shoot for a throw!

I really want to try out the remaining blocks.  I think I may make them with the whiter background and maybe work them into the quilt back, or make pillows.  I will have to see what the quilting suggestions are for the quilt top.  For now though, I am admitting that the "Snow" defeated me.

So what have you been working on?  I want to see those lovely blocks of yours!


Link up your fabulous blocks.  You put a lot of hard work into them - show them off!  And, don't forget, you have all week to add them if you like.

Rules:

1) Please link up only to the page in your blog showing your wonderful blocks, not just the blog homepage.  Flickr pictures are also OK.
