I agree..........A+ You are so right. Quilting is a great stress reliever and something productive as well.

Yes, writing and quilting are much alike in that they give one satisfaction. Congrats on your grade. Just wondering, but was this for a Freshman E-2 class? I took a summer creative writing class when I was in my late fifties and thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope college is enjoyable to you. Oh and by the way, Thanks for your country's service! I see your photo appears to have you dressed in a military uniform.

Actually, when this was taken I was dressed to go to work at Wal=Mart and my youngest son is dressed in one of his play uniforms. He is only 15 and not active duty yet. I did however spend 7 years on active duty but that was 25 years ago.

I love your avatar!! For anyone familiar with my Boston Blocks this one is made up of Bostons and HSTS!!!

I am definately adding this one to my favorite quilt blocks!!

If I were your English comp teacher, I'd give you an A++. Great job. You quote "expert", especially yourself. Here's a pat on the back.++

I want to say thank you to everyone who commented on my essay. It was for English 99 at my school. I attend American Military University online since I am unable to attend a regular classroom type setting due to health issues. They don't slow me down much but they do get in the way some times.

I'll post a better avatar as soon as I can find just the right pictures for it of all my family.

Oh Rhonda, you are so correct; my block does have Bostons in it. However, I pieced it during my Guild's block exchange and it was called Windmill. The 13" block was cut from 4" and 4-1/4" squares cut twice diagonally and was a lot of fun to make. Thanks

LOL You can see where my eye goes!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: It is gorgeous and I was amazed even more when I realized it is only a 4 blocks across by 4 blocks down. So easy to make! I would love to hear about the process you used. I am always interested in anything new to me!

Sorry to hijack here Rere but I knew you wouldn't care! :oops: :oops: :lol: :lol:
