Boo Boo Blocks

That is now this Quilts name in my head - can you imagine when I go to present it - I will tell the Veteran - your Quilt is named Boo Boo Blocks.... and everyone will probably look at me like I sprung a leak!

I will need to rename it before hand!

Anyways - the 6  blocks - that were 12 1/2 to 13 inches in size are now their own quilt and I believe they are happy!   It has a back all chosen, and is in my Queue to Quilt....


Here it is - in all of it's glorious Scrappy Ness!!
I love it!

Here are the blocks when I was trying to figure out how I wanted it to look
The yellow tags were the block sizes 
I knew I had a bad memory and would forget as soon as I looked away!



Each strip of fabric
reminded me of another quilt!
Too cool


And laying them out to make it the right size
I sort of took over the house - 
Good thing my Men are nice to me!


And now....
It needs to be quilted !
Yay!!

Now - just a little precursor - the Block drive is now finished - you can still send blocks ( we will love them I promise) but they won't count for prizes. Wednesday I will have a recap for you

This last weekend was sort of like the Super Bowl of Quilts of Valor - Veterans Day was well awarded.  ( I have no idea if that makes sense or not - but keep coming back - it will!)

  13. Yes the blocks are happy now! Love the name; much better than orphan blocks. That's what they are otherwise, aren't they?

  15. You'd never know the blocks didn't start off a perfect. Great way to use those mis-matched pretties.
