Now I am going to tell you what happened with one of my blocks....
I have my computer in the sawing room and alternate between the computer and the sawing machine. Yesterday, I going to the sawing machine and Nicholas my 5 yr old son reaches for one of my hot air balloons that fall between the sawing table and the window... when I grabbed it, he said... mammy. Do you like it? I draw a boy and a girl on it!!!
Yes my friends, he grabbed one of my finished blocks and draw 2 heads, a boy and a girl that are taking a ride in my hot air balloon, I said.... noooooooo... and he instatly started crying realizing that it was bad. Well, I had to tell him that it was all right, what else a mom can do. Right? I decided that when I send my blocks to Deb I'll ask her to send me the block he draw for me. The quilt when finished was going to be for him anyways.... But ladies, watch for the little ones if you have them running around at home because they are very creative and always willing to HELP you with your projects... LOL I will remember this one for a while. I am attaching a scanned picture... don't be scared, the entire block doens't fit on the scanner but the balloon is centered. I hope you liked it.

Thanks all! I thing I might need to ask Nicholas to keep going.... LOL!
By the way I have finished them, I just need to trim to 12 1/2 and I will be mailing them. I cannot wait to see the rest of the blocks.
Will you put it together soon and post a pic? How does it work? This is my first time in a swap.
