Brick Collection...lol
 

My latest finish. It's for my cousin.
He liked post on fb that said "Don't you just hate it when you have to be nice to someone you want to throw a brick at?" So as a joke I made him a brick pillow, dropped it off at a bar he plays at with no note or signature on it and waited to see if he could figure out who gave him the brick. After three weeks he finally picked it up at the bar and posted a comment about it on Facebook trying to see if one of his friends would come forward admitting they gave him the pillow. Using the comments on his page I composed a little poem and dropped off a second brick at his house. I took an accomplice with me to his house who took the brick to his door and was supposed to leave it there for him to find in the morning but instead pounded on his door and rang his doorbell a bunch of times, unfortunately this is where our little game ended because it upset my cousin. I tried to resume the game by sending an apology poem but had no luck and was asked that I just reveal myself and in doing so I handed off one last brick which he threw at me while laughing.
I decided to end our tale with this 'brick wall' (called "Brick Collection") for him to hide behind. lol!

Good story! It's so good to surprise people. He will love the throwing bricks and the quilt. He will tell the story for a long time.

Nice Bricks.

I've heard of using soft bricks to throw at the TV when your team isn't winning. Cute story, and great gifts!

Funny thing is my aunt was in on this from the beginning and when the first two bricks showed up and he started telling her and my uncle about getting them, they tried to convince him that is what they were probably for but he was still a little upset by the door pounding incident so he didn't by it. That and he thought they were a little big to throw at his TV since they measure 12" x 6" x 2.5"

I got the idea for the brick, a few years back, after a swap partner who hated pink made the comment that she was going to throw a brick at all of us who were tormenting her about pink after she requested "NO PINK" quilts during that swap. It became part of Patty's Pink Pitty Party. I had Patty's name during that swap so when I sent her her little doll quilt, I 'threw' a pink brick pin cushion (3" x 2" x 1") in her box. She also has a great since of humor and enjoyed her torment all in good fun. She later threw bricks (brown, green which was mine, and orange) back at a few of us.

Thank you ladies for all your compliments on the quilt. I really love how this quilt turned out and it is probably one of my favorites. Probably make myself one ;)

Too funny!

Great story, how fun. He's going to love that brick wall (quilt) :)

Very nice....
