    Turned block, what a great family story! Makes it so special. Great quilt. Are you going to take January off and just rest? LOL

One day my youngest sister was quilting a quilt for another sister and noticed a block was turned wrong. She decided to leave the block as it was since it was in the middle and it would require a lot of seam ripping. We later found out that it was our only brother that "turned" the block when she wasn't looking. So, long story short, whenever one of us girls is making a quilt for another one, we ask our brother to "turn a block" so it is in the quilt incorrectly! So, this will probably be a part of my family's twisted fun as long as my brother is still alive. LOL
    what a cool tradition!!

    Cut and pieced in one night? And had time for your brother to turn a block. Wow. Great work. Only brothers can really be jokers, can't they?
