I may have to change what I want to do. No I don't think so, I like the idea of using the notions fabric for my blocks. It'll just take me longer to get them done but I can live with that. Sorry I have a tendency to ramble when I'm tired.

CONGRATULATIONS 2 LBS WOW. GREAT JOB

It IS awesome! :)

I've been so busy with school that I haven't had time to sew anything. Hopefully, I'll get my homework done early today so I can get to work!

You could have a yo-yo block that for each pound you gain back you make a yo-yo and when you get however many to make size block you have the block that represents the yo-yo weight struggle.

I love this post. I still need to figure out what I am going to make.
I am thinking about the idea of using yoyo's as flowers but need a pattern with a large vase with flowers coming out???
I will put on my thinking cap. Any ideas??

How about an hourglass shaped vase. Would represent your new figure! Easy to draw and cut freehand and applique it on your block. Great job on the 10.2 #!!!

Thank you! I can't buy anything right now because my DD accidently threw her retainer away and now I gotta come up with $50.00 quick. I'm sooooooo mad I could scream, she couldn't pick a worse time to do this!!!!! I cried last night because the finances are not there for anything extra.. I'm might try to sell some of my favorite fabric's later if I can't come up with the money.. Sorry to be a downer this morning you all. I hope you all have a great day!
