It's snowing!

Snow is rather rare here in Vienna so as soon as the snowflakes begin to fall I have to grab my camera and get out of the door.







Untouched snow?



No wait! Someone has already been there. 



Fortunately I have a companion who's always ready to go for a walk with me (although he is not too happy when I'm standing around taking pictures).

Let's get scrappy

I don't do mystery quilts. I want to know what I am making and how it will look when it's finished.

But then Elaine (@messygoat) posted a picture on Instagram of the last few mystery quilts she made which were provided by Bonnie Hunter of quiltville.com. They looked so nice and cozy. And as I lost my quilting mojo in the last few months I decided to give it a try. My only requirement: use only fabric from my stash.

So yesterday I dug into my cupboards and came up with these fabrics to work with



Beautiful aren't they? I hope it's enough.

But now please excuse me I have to iron, cut and sew 240 fourpatches.

I'm linking this post to http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2018/11/mystery-monday-link-up-and-cyber-monday.html where you can find a lot of people who already did all the 4patches.
