A very creative way to display those wonderful blocks.

Thank you sew much everybody!! And just think this is only 1/2 way done! I didn't cover the foam board with anything tho I 'spose I could have. (This is nice part of living alone! If it satisfies me - good enough! Don't have to squeeze it around the giant screen TV! Or listen to any complaining about removing HIS moose heads! LOL)

I always like doing the same thing as my GrandBuddy does, but it was awkward to see in the dark corner and I ran out of room! I like looking at it, too, (I can see it from almost every room now) and the great thing is that I can remember doing almost every block and what I learned on that one. Guess I'll have to begin each row with block #7 now to keep them lined up!! I have a small 12" level and found that the purple fabric marking pens that fade in a short time are great for drawing the lines!

OK, time to start row H (in the middle!!)
Thanks everyone!

When mine was years younger he had to try out all 101 decorative stitches on my (new to me) old machine. Aren't they fun?!

*Sniff, sniff* Yep, I surely did the right thing!
That is so cool, the one looks like a village, maybe even a Christmas village. Neat!

Thanks, neighbor! (I'm down in Ridgefield) They have all been aligned now, but I see the village with all the pointed roof tops!

What a great idea! I loved the story about DGD.....I agree when you swap out blocks be sure he gets a quilt with his favorites, just cause he loves them!
