Melting Snow and Mud

The snow is melting much more quickly than I thought it would and now we have a sea of mud! We still have lots of snow in places as you can see in this photo.

Michael needed to pick up some things at the local lumber yard and decided to go into town. I wanted to finish quilting the quilt I had on the machine so I stayed home. The quilt is one my Aunt sent for practice for me and it didn't turn out as well as the first quilt I did for her but it is OK. I did it totally freehand, no pattern, so that might be why! I did complete a couple of the quilt blocks for my Quilt for An Hour project and it was quickly apparent that I either need a more accurate ruler or I need to be a more accurate cutter! But, the pattern is beautiful and so are the colors I chose--it's a learning process, right??
