Ok, so... one down, three to go.
I'm making this for a wall hanging for a friend's birthday on Friday. She had the nerve to ask me to give her one quilts I'm working on... um... NO?!
I haven't even finished yet and that's a pretty darn big gift to give someone. She's a friend but we're not THAT close.
Anyway, I've been eye-balling this block for some time now, and I'm glad I only decided to make a wall hanging because I think I would hang myself if I had to make many more of these. Took me a full hour to make that single block!
It's going to be 4 blocks, with a few fun borders and some very simple quilting, since I have to go see her on Friday, and I work 2 jobs and probably have to bring my kitty to the vet in the next few days.
Let me know what you guys think of it. I wanted more vibrant colours, but I just raided my stash, and I think these colours work. :)

Kidney stones, I think. Poor thing :(

That looks like a hard block! What is it called? And you are going to have it all together and quilted by Friday! Superwoman! :lol: :?
It looks like it will be just super! I do like the colors, too. Could I be your friend? :?

I think you are making someone very happy by working so hard for her birthday! You are a good person to take so much time for her.
I know most people don't realize how much money and time go into quilts. Don't judge her too bad. Hey she loves your work! That's not all bad. Right?
