Two envelopes arrived safely today: Donna (dahna42) and Mary (ok Darla).

I also got an afternoon alone so I quilted. I my first two blocks: Sherry's (ssnare) and Dotty's (dotcomdtcm).

Sherry your music fabric for your son was very colorful and fun. I didn't want to cut it up into tiny pieces because I felt the images of the musician and piano would be lost, so I looked for a pattern where the blocks would be large. I was also looking for one that had a modern and masculine feel. Hopefully you like my results.

Dotty, I remembered that you were donating your quilt for project Linus (hopefully right?). So I was looking for a youthful pattern that would appeal to a child, hence the pinwheel. Your fabric had several colors that I could have chosen, but I went with the lesser two colors, green and yellow, because I liked the way they complemented the pink and purple tones (and because they were more gender neutral). Hope you like the block.

I will mail these blocks later next week, once I have a handful of envelopes to go out. Christina (quiltingmommy)
