Here is the next installment in blocks. I was so excited to be posting here, that work seemed to drag on all week. I wanted to hurry up and get to work so I had something to post. Sure keeps me motivated! :mrgreen:
Arkansas Crossroads: My late MIL was born just outside Ft. Smith, AR and we weren't too far from AR the three years we lived in OK. We can't go visit family or friends without crossing the roads of AR. It's a wonderful addition. I will always think of my late MIL when I look at this block. The "cross roads" portion will have my name, hubby's name, and the date of our wedding written in later.

Patience: Hubby and I have very similar music tastes....except for Pink Floyd and Guns and Roses. He likes both, I don't like either. Originally, I was going to add this block because of all the patience you have to exercise when in a relationship....turns out I had this blasted song stuck in my head all day!!!

State of Illinois: I'm from there, originally....in corn/pig country. When we met, I was a waitress out there. Just had to add it:

I've never made so many quilt blocks with triangles and I can't get over how great my points look....for the most part anyway. :lol:
