Sometimes we're very hard on ourselves. I think it's a beautiful block but it's what you think that matters.

6:30?! Wow what a wake up call. No sleep after that. And I'm with you about the oh, no part!

Very pretty blocks, Terri...

Libster, are you showing your granddaughter the blocks as they are posted, or is this going to be a total surprise?

Yesterday I spent all my sewing time cutting up scraps... mostly scraps of my I Spy fabrics. I had so much! And so much already cut into different size strips and squares, a la Bonnie Hunter (scrap saver system). It's so time consuming... really the best way to deal with scraps is just to give them to someone else! Now I need to make some scrappy quilts.

I've shown her the blocks in the gallery a couple of times now. I think that's why she's so excited about this quilt. She 30 years old and a mom, but she's like a little kid waiting for Christmas. I love that in her.

Is there a disease or syndrome where a triangle goes one way and you add a square but you see everything in reverse. I have to quit trying to do these kind of blocks, I must turn and sew them upside down and inside out and anything else you could do wrong.
