Most of you will know that my aunt passed away a week before Christmas. I will have to make several trips to Toronto this month to help my sister wind up my aunts affairs and empty her apartment. Sewing and quilting time will be limited. I'm aiming to get my Triangle Transparency Quilt top finished in time to link up with the party at Quilting Jet Girl. Here's the one block I have finished so far.
It's freezing up here in Canada with the Polar Vortex bringing us cold air from Siberia. I'm hoping that these beautiful tropical colours can help to keep me warm. I'm linking up with Patty at Elm Creek Quilts now and hopefully later in the month as well.

Good luck! Your fabric choice is pretty!
I really love the colors you selected, Lisa, and I hope you are able to get your aunts affairs in order and find the time to finish the quilt top this month.
GoodLuck - that is a beautiful color combo. Sorry about your aunt - hope you do get to enjoy sometime with your sister tho - Hugs
The one block is beautifully done. I'm sorry about your aunt. Good luck with clearing the estate.
Love the bright colors. Good luck in the estate business and the beautiful quilt project.
I'm sorry for your loss and hope you find time to sew while helping your family. I love the colors you selected and look forward to seeing your finished quilt!
Gorgeous bright colors. Good luck with your goal and with the sad task at hand. You are in my prayers. ;^)
Good luck with your goal. Looking forward to seeing all your blocks sewn together. Siberia can have the cold back!!!
I'm so sorry about your aunt, Lisa. I hope getting her affairs in order goes smoothly. Your Wayward block is just beautiful. It's so cold here today I just want to sit next to that block (indoors) with a hot cup of coffee! We are having quite the cold snap here too. Stay warm!
Oo, gorgeous fabrics for Wayward Transparency! Like a hot, tropical beach vacation :) Happy New Year, Lisa!
So sorry to hear about your aunt. Good luck getting your goal completed. It will look gorgeous when it's finished
I am so sorry to hear about your aunt's passing. You were a good niece to her time of need. I always like working with warm and bright fabrics in January especially now with the cold weather we're having. Hope all goes well with taking care of your aunt's affair.
Oh Lisa, my condolences for the loss of your aunt. Having followed along with your blog and IG account, I know how much you were invested in keeping her comfortable, safe and in good health and spirit. I hope you and your sister, as well as, everyone else in your family affected by her passsing, has friends and family to lean and rely on if and when you need them. I am sending warm thoughts from Berlin. Kind regards. K.
Love the colours! The cold can go away anytime...I've had enough
I am sorry to hear about your aunt. I really like how we picked the same colors for the Wayward. I like your transition from yellow to red. My orange is a cross-weave so it is thin like tissue paper and a real pain to sew with the other more substantial solids.
Those are pretty colors. Sorry to hear about your aunt. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.
Beautiful warm colors are definitely a welcome right now with the temperatures so low. Can't wait to see what layout you end up using. So many great ones to choose from.
I think the colors in the quilt could warm all of North America! It's been pretty cold here in Colorado as well. So sorry about your Aunt, I hope you and your sister can spend some time remembering all the things you loved about her.
That's a perfect color vibe to warm yourself mentally during the month and infuse energy into your spirits as you help tackle the sad tasks of a loved one's passing. I'm sure your sister greatly appreciates your traveling and helping. Hugs!
Love your colours. I hope things are going well with all the family things.
Those pretty bright colors should boost your quilting mojo!!
Your Wayward Transparency quilt will be stunning. Happy finishing it.
