This week I made two more Dicey blocks.
I talked about how I was practicing making circles here. Several followers gave how they make circles. I LOVE their input! I will be trying a few of the techniques at a later date. For now I will keep the same method to keep things consistent in this quilt.
You can read why I started this quilt here.
The snowmen that I built Januaury 18th (three weeks ago) are STILL hanging on to life! Here's a little progression of them. I don't know why I'm so interrested in keeping up with their existance.
January 19th our son added two more snowmen and a couple of "dogs".
Here's what they looked like on the morning of January 31st:
More sunshine happened and the results for the morning of February 1st. I'm starting to see a pattern that I have time to stop and take photos of melting snowmen while I patiently wait for our son to come out of the house and get into my truck so that I can take him to the bus stop at the end of the driveway. He usually walks to the bus stop on his own, but the driveway is slushy, icy, or muddy right now. Our school district is having a big issue with the lack of bus drivers (as are a few other districts in the area.). Some days there is not a bus driver available and we receive a message that our kid needs to find their own way to school! One day our bus was 19 minutes late while the temperature was 15 degrees. I just can't let him stand there in a situation like that. I schedule my substitute teacher times so that I can start later in the day so that I can wait with him at the bus stop.
On Monday the temperature got up to 55 degrees. But that didn't end the snowmen. Tuesday (this week) February 4, 2025:
Our son had a "snow day" on Thursday due to icy road conditions. Boy, they were icy on my way to my school district which was still in session.
Our snowmen are now threee weeks old...and yesterday, February 7, 2025:
80 percent chance of snow today. Hope it's a wet snow so that I can build more snowmen.

That's hilarious that you're tracking the snowmen's melting progression. I do the same around the neighborhood but didn't think to take pictures. Lol! Your Dicey Blocks look great!
