Thanks girl! I’m working on it every night now and during the days when I can’t get out. We’ve got a glaze of ice this morning or I would be out on a cleaning job. The peacock block is halfway finished and waiting on me this morning.

These are really nice quilt squares. I love the redwork. I also didn’t know what that was until I read the other comments above. I will be waiting on pins and needles 😉 to see how the quilt turns out.

Redwork is embroidery using only red embroidery thread. I’m a little partial to red so it works. I’ll tell you more about the quilt when I see you! Secret!!
