I can always make either a bigger one for her bed or 2 lap quilts for the rocking chair she uses and the couch both and maybe she will need to take for chemo treatments when it get colder here in Iowa. I will take all that anyone wants to send and make her something special, how could it not be anything else but special with such special people making blocks? Thank you again! Lori

I would love to make one but won't if it is not needed. Let me know if you need another block.

Here's mine. As I mentioned on the SP thread, I had a big stinking whoops moment. I decided to do a quilted design on my embroidery machine and despite very careful clipping to keep the loose fabric out of the way, a corner snuck under there and got quilted into the back! In the middle, of course. :oops: I wasn't going to take it apart because the front has several 1" 9 patch blocks, which were a real PITA, so I snipped it out and where the batting showed a bit, I used a magic marker. *sigh* Anyway, here it is ...

On the back I used one of the labels I got from my last secret Pal as a Siggie. ;)
Finally, It is chilly, rainy and time for some Chili. It's October!!!
