I've looked and looked and don't see any faces. If it looks like anything, a bunch of designer Kleenex boxes. I think it is very pretty and Evan will be delighted.

Hugs Deb, I think you will see the faces if I show you the pic of how the original pattern was supposed to be put together. It looks like a smiley face that isn't smiling. LOL.. Here are the first 2 blocks I made according to the original instructions and didn't like at all. So I took them apart and did the random thing instead.[ATTACH=CONFIG]318307[/ATTACH]

A DGS is my Darling Grandson, Evan.
Gentle hugs and big smiles.. if you ever want or need to talk about the fibro, just give me a yell. I will certainly understand!

I just happened to be looking at quilt blocks on a website and found this one. They called it "Brick and Cobblestones". This is the site I was looking at, and I was in the Quilt Blocks Gallery: http://quilting.about.com/od/quiltpa...ones-Quilt.htm

Love it...and I am sure Evan will too. You are not alone in your fogginess....we Lupies are prone to it too. Mind you the "design opportunities" are endless aren't they
