I did the weight loss challenge for a while, but frankly, I got tired of giving away my fqs. I think I wouldn't have any left by now! ;) Something happens to my mind when I set myself in a "have to" mode and I gain unstead of lose. I do much better if I just concentrate on doing the things I need to do to get healthy. Then the weight comes slowly off. I love this idea, tho. I have so much to lose, I may try a block for every five pounds. Work slowly on the block, like add a piece for every 1/2 lb. lost. Might try that. I think I will try to work out a block with a small photo of each of my kids & grandkids in it. Any ideas of what block would work?
I have seen some that have the picture as a center block and then a star pattern around it. Beginning quilter here so don't know the name of the block- I do like the idea of a block with a picture.
Great idea, but I don't think I'm ready for a star block. I've made 6 quilts, but they have all been pretty much the same--graduation quilts for my grandkids.
