Some blocks are just four patch blocks that have fabrics that remind us of them (sewing items and cats for my mom, baking stuff and dogs for my dad, things like that). Also different styles of quilting, applique, pieced, and my sister found a printed panel she really wanted to use.

Mom grew up on a cattle farm, so that's how the cow fits in. She works in a fabric store and has sewn since she was really little, so that's where the fabric choice came in. I need to still add the eyes, nostrils, and tail, but this is the cow block:

I know my parents will like it though

So nice to hear from you!!
