Chilly Silly Snowmen 2014 BOM

Go *HERE* for pattern link and all, she has a great tutorial for the first section and you can see how cute the snowman faces are. Pattern is free until month's end so hurry! 

Is anyone else working on this fun Mystery BOM?  The first section is so cute!  I've never joined a mystery quilt sew along because I want an idea of what the blocks look like before choosing colors. This mystery shows the finished section ahead of having you choose and cut fabrics.  

 Here are my marked HST's,  (whoops) I cut the squares a bit too generous.  Figured that out when squaring them.  Oh well, my bad. The pattern does not ask for HST's, it was my choice to use them for block corners.

 Ready to sew together. There are seven of these blocks in the first section.

 This makes the face of each snowman, I still need to prep my orange fabric for carrot noses.

I didn't plot how I would sew the seams for neatly facing pressing.  My first sewn block (on the right) has seams joined and pressed every-which-way.  My block on the left has neatly joining seams.  LOL

 Next time I'll plot my chain piecing!  At least I only made one wonky block and I'm gonna pick it out.

My goodness the sunsets have been beautiful.  The below photo is untouched.  (It really is pink and lavender fading into blues).

 The moon this time of year is early rising over the Dragoon and Mule Mountains.

Landscape is crispy and dead looking, it will be nice to see living things green up for spring. Cannot wait.  We are experiencing warm temps but that could change overnight.
