The Hearts and Hand blocks are now circles.
I thought it would be a good idea to stay on top of things and make my blocks into the circles they have to be for the quilt. I used the plastic heat resistant template to do them and it worked like a charm. The only problem ones were the paper pieced ones that have a lot of thickness in the seams. Those I had to baste down just to keep them in place.
Also, today, my grandson turned 5. Gosh! He is going to be going to school. How did that happen?
We celebrated his birthday at Chuck E. Cheese with a few of his friends from school and all the family members. Here are a couple pictures of the birthday boy on his special day.
Quilting is my passion. The ability to be creative with colorful fabric just makes me smile. Of course, equally joyful is the love of my grandchildren. What could be better?

My excuse for not posting for so long is "life". Lots of things going on, but no one big thing to post about. Took a quick round ...

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,

I thought those blocks were beautiful before, but cut into circles they look stunning! Good idea cutting as you go.
ReplyDeleteAnd that birthday boy looks so happy! He's growing up way too fast.
The circles keep multiplying and getting cuter. I can't believe the picture of Ian, he looks so old. Where did the time go?
ReplyDeleteGood Grief! It seems like it was just yesterday we were all waiting to hear about that childs birth. Time sure flies! By the way the circles are sure looking GOOD!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I'm horrible. I've never taken my kids to Chucky Cheese. They are so deprived.
