Carrie, I think you matched your MIL blocks with great fabric. Well done. What a Fantastic quilt that will be.
And Mirabelle, you did a great job 'acquiring' a nice variety of color. Yes, I think you could add another dark color and balance out the future blocks. Awaiting til you are rested and caught up to tell us more details about your fun you had.
Jeanie, congrads on the new dgd. I envy you, if wishes were fishes, the ocean would be full is the old time expression...meaning I wish for more grands myself but count myself lucky to have one.
