Block finally made

I finally got a block made from step 4. I only made a couple of the nine patches to see how they would go together. I then put together one of the blocks. It looks okay, but they are kind of a pain to put together. The nine patches are going to take me awhile to get finished. I have to make 130 of them. They are turning out to be bit bigger than they are suppose to be so I'm having to trim them. Overall it doesn't look bad. I need to get a few more nine patches made so I can make a block from step 5 and see how they look together. Its nice to be done with the cutting and little piecing. Can't wait to get the blocks made.

We got quite a bit of snow yesterday and last night. I had to get the snowblower out this afternoon to clear a path for the DH to get up the driveway in the car. We are suppose to get another 2 to 4 inches tomorrow night. Then it is going to get really cold. Wednesday, Thursday & Friday the highs are only suppose to be in the single digits and in the negatives overnight. I guess the generator is going to get a good workout those few days. I'm really not looking forward to the extreme cold. Its hard on the animals and hard to keep water from freezing even with the generator running.
