Lordy lordy Shelvys NOT 40:>

This is a siggie quilt that we made for Shelvys birthday on Friday....its all florals....and goes together fast but makes an interesting quilt...each block is a 6 1/2 square split diagonally with a 1 1/2" by 8 1/2" strip inset in it...the 1 1/2" strip is signed with Birthday greetings...quick easy ...looks good...what more could you ask for in a quilt that you needed to collect 70 squares for?? These blocks were done in only a month or so...This could be the new birthday quilt!!! Look one in your inbox on your next major birthday....:>

We had a fun nite doing a halloween ornament swap at Kays house which she had decorated to the nines or should i say 12s for Halloween! And of course it was accompanied by heavy snacks suitable for halloween like yum pretzels sticks coated in white chocolate with mummies and bats PURFFECT snack for Halloween! And then we gave Shelvy her quilt....

Bytw this is a swap quilt I think from McCalls QUilting mag....12 people made 3 blocks for each of thier friends every month for a year...and swapped them monthly...the quilt ended up queen sized without borders....470 something blocks...
