wishing spring here

I'm working on one of my quilting goals for 2011 (I know, already).

I saw this pattern, called Round About, by Heather Mulder Peterson of Anka's Treasures, and loved it.

(It appeared in the October 2008 edition of American Patchwork & Quilting.)

I also was loving Valori Wells' Nest fabric.

So 'two' of a good thing can only make 'a great quilt'.

Here's the math:

Pattern that looks harder than it is

+

Beautiful fabric

=

Great quilt

I'm not quite done, but making great progress on this.

Best of all, after I got a few blocks done, I realized they kind of form a nest for the birds.

And with a foot of snow still on the ground, I'll do just about anything to think spring.

What are you working on?
