Finally, a post with pictures of something other than snow

I did get the left side panel of the diamond challenge quilt finished:


What's that? You don't see any diamonds? Well, no. They'll be on the right side of that panel.
It's kind of wonky in the picture, but it is a rectangle; the lily pad leaves are at the upper left, the flower on the lower left. There's a big open space in the lower right side that I plan to quilt in concentric circles for raindrops.

And, of course, there's still the snow. This was during the height of the blizzard; you can see the snow in the air.


You can see how tall the big shoveled piles are; Small Man is the yardstick here.


And the icicles.
