They wanted to sleep with them but my DDIL did not want them to ruin them. I guess I will have to make them each a scrappy quilt to lay around on. LOL

I checked out your topics you posted and saw the pillow shams! They are sooo cute. The last one w/the bugs is the best I think and so very cute! Everyone else seemed to like them too. Sure bet the boys went crazy over them! Dancing Dino was cute too and great job on the three! I did take a look at Dresden Hearts. Your beautiful fabric really adds much to that pattern. Your DDIL needs to let the boys have their quilts. Life is far too short to keep those quilts "nice and tidy". Let them have them now while they are young and enjoy it most!!! Make them a scrap quilt they can then "roughhouse" with. That should make eveyone happy then! haha! :-) :-) lol.

G, you have grreat ideas!!! A wedding gift quilt would be ideal -- i never thought of that! ohhhh, and Xmas. fabs......ohhh I would love that! I think I should have left the birds out of the quilt, but they would have been heartbroken. You know I have a tame male cardinal who seems to keep getting closer and closer to me when I give him his peanuts or peanut butter! He comes when I call him or I come when I hear him with their fabulous chirp!! Do you have any tame wild birds? You have tame cows, right? lol. Thanks, G, for copying my pattern. Please post or PM when you get it done. I love DWR!!!

How cute n2!!! Great work!

Thank you so much, Bobbinchick. Here are some pics for you if you make it and for Calla too. Hope you like my mini tute! Hugs, n2. :D

lay your pieces out first before sewing together and check for contrast.

lay 2 RST (right sides together) on top of ring, flip, sew, repeat
[ATTACH=CONFIG]69552[/ATTACH]

all pressed in place
[ATTACH=CONFIG]69553[/ATTACH]

notch the outer ring
[ATTACH=CONFIG]69555[/ATTACH]

slit open; this is for inserting rings together; then applique it shut.

After all this, can you believe I did this? I forgot to link the bottom 2 together!!

Thank you kwiltkrazy!!! Just click on my name to see other minis and free patterns I've posted by clicking on "list posts." Yes, it's going to be a lot of fun seeing this quilt come together! Haven't worked on it in awhile as I just keep on making other quilts!!! haha. I will post a pic when it comes together!! Thank you, dear!

Thank you so much, Ditter43!!! They are very challenging for me but not visually -- usually by piecing such tiny things!! My fingers get in the way. :-D :-D ;) ;-) :roll:

What is a DWR, please?
