the Rabbit hole... has found... the bottom

 I am DONE!! making blocks for my Jelly Roll 18 - aka *the Rabbit Hole*

I have them all laid out the way I want them - and they are now ready to row!!!



now it is 6 x 8 - and the are 12 inch blocks - so should be 72 x 96 ish ( I am not a perfect 1/4 inch stitcher sometimes) but I liked the idea of a bigger quilt...


Hope you all have recovered from your 4th of July Weekend - and were able to celebrate our Independence!! We went to a fireworks show- one of our sons friends is a firefighter with the Southeast Weld Fire - and they put on an awesome fireworks display. 

 




we sat in the back of the pick up and they were right over head - it was the best show I have ever seen, even if I did have to rccline 😃

We rode a little:



We dogged a lot ...I was trying to get them all poseable with the flowers - but there were too many distractions ( read K had snacks!! - human ones)


and we celebrated K's Birthday - We think it is becoming a tradition to let him skunk us on his birthday. ( okay - I always get skunked!)



Today - we go back to reality and work and No More Goofing OFF ... until the next time!!


See you WEDNESDAY for the kick off of our new Quilt a LONG!! its fun and eaaaasssssyyyyyy

Your Rabbit Hole is pretty, really turning out to be big. Your ride scenery looks spectacular!

I like your end to the rabbit hole! Looks like the fireworks were a great finish to the Fourth!

The blocks look great and I bet you will have a pieced quilt top in no time. Sounds like a wonderful weekend. Have a great week!

We actually didn't do much on the Fourth. Often we watch a Capitol Fourth on PBS but I was into a book. Love that spell checker you are using... Son's bd is becoming a radiation??🤣🤣🤣 Your quilt is looking great. And, see you on Wednesday... so to speak.

Sounds like a fun weekend; I haven't ever found a rabbit hole that actually has a bottom to it! Ha!! Love your JR quilt.

The layout for your jelly roll quilt is lovely. Glad you had a nice 4th and birthday celebration with your hubby. It was so nice of you to let him win ;)
