Sometimes the muse just strikes. The Winter Block for our cousinly Nigel Slater project isn't due to be traded until the first of March. I'd been playing with design ideas in my head ever since finishing the Autumn Block, but I'd been stymied by the challenge fabrics selected by the Andrews husbands for this next quarter. Scottie Dogs and…glow-in-the-dark Space Bats. Really???
Suddenly my design ideas needed to make a right turn. And then, last week we woke up to this, a perfect day for French Onion Soup.
The moon on the crest of the new fallen snow, and a big bag of onions, loaf of fresh french bread and red table cloth spawned a new design. These are all improvisational blocks…quirky log cabins, wonky drunkard's paths, and some skewed strip piecings and here it is..

And the other one in the pair:
And now…on to spring design ideas!
