Here is the final quilt square for Jordyn's Great Grandmas quilt. As i mentioned before several family members made blocks for her 90th bday, and i was just awaiting this last block so that i could start assembling the quilt. Yes, i was waiting on myself :) I made it for her daughter, who doesnt quilt, and its supposed to look like their mountain home. Anyways, she is excited to take all the squares with her on a family gathering over Easter, so when she gets back we'll decide how to arrange them. She wants the squares to be on the front and back, and she wants it to be a wall hanging. (she plans to flip it over ever couple weeks or so). I suggested a quilt for her bed...twin sized, so it would be perfect...but she said she wants to be able to look at it, and if she puts it on her bed it would be covered up by the bedspread. Well, i didnt feel like arguing that it could become the bed cover, so i guess we'll just design it how she wants it. Besides, its her quilt :)
Since i had a little extra time, i made this pink and brown square for Kathi (Miss December)for the Bday block swap on about.com. Its a yearlong commitment, and we had some folks drop out, so people still awaiting their month are getting cheated a few squares. Therefore, those of us die hards, decided to help out each other by creating the extra blocks that folks are missing. I was impressed with the number of extra blocks the women are making. Quilters truly are a generous bunch! In fact, i almost lost out on making an extra block because they all jumped in so quickly.
It was cold and windy today, but Jordyn and i still had a chance to adventure outside. I sure hope Spring is around the corner...Im ready for it!
Cheers~

How did you get your chimney to stand up straight like that? Whenever I do houses, no matter how careful I am, the chimney always leans at a strange angle! Lovely block.
Thanks for the kudos...it was a paper pieced pattern, which certainly helped keep it from slanting :)
