They are adorned with silver metallic. And because they've been sitting here since last winter, they took a bit of tugging to get apart. There are two charms of most prints.
In fact, I vaguely remember that I may have purchased two charm packs. I hope I'm right.
I also have Kona Snow charms.
Interior decorators usually caution not to put blue and white in a north facing room because they will make January feel awfully cold. My experience is that I love blue and white after Christmas--and I'll take every glimpse I can get of blue skies--probably since I've spent all but the last 25 years or so living where gray skies are more common than blue ones in winter.
I purchased these because I just like the prints. They could become another prayer quilt, but they are just as likely to become a keeper quilt. It will depend on whether I can get organized enough to remember if I really did buy two Frost charm packs.
I'm slowly moving some of my sewing things into our tiniest bedroom--so we'll feel less squished in our living room now that I've added a television. But the stuff is heavy. And my house has quite a few things in common with a Rubik's cube when I try to rearrange.
I'm very, very, busy with rehearsals for Christmas music right now. I play piano for our church's Jubilee ensemble (flute, trumpets, clarinets, etc.), am part of the Jugband (as in J.U.G.--Joy Under God), sing in our main choir, and a quartet/quintet. All the church music groups will be part part of a combined mostly-music service this Sunday. The Jugband will also be doing music programs for a couple of assisted living/rehab centers and the Breakfast with Santa. I do have a few more things going on--and a couple weeks until first semester ends.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow evening since my college girl should return home. She's so incredibly busy that I hear from her if something is wrong (like a repair-engine light coming on in her car--a filter needed to be cleaned), but it seems she's barely getting a chance to rest--I'm hoping she's eating well and did an outstanding job on her finals!
Happy quiltmaking,
That fabric is beautiful!
