A Project Linus Completion!!

Alas!  A Project Linus completion.  And before I go any further, yes, I have now seen that the block in the upper left-hand corner is turned the wrong way.  And do you know when I noticed it?  It was when I downloaded the picture.  Eeeegad!  The blocks are the Disappearing 4 Patch that I referenced in an earlier post.


I mentioned (I think) that I had LOTS of butterfly fabric left over from an earlier quilt (below) that I made for one of my granddaughters.  Believe it or not, there is still quite a bit of fabric, so there may be another Project Linus project in there.



It's a bright, sunny day here in the Portland area, and I'm going to take advantage of it by getting out and taking a nice, long walk with DH.

  2. LOL Boy do I know about those wayward blocks. Amazing how they can just turn on you without you even looking. hahaha It's still lovely and some young girl will just adore it just the way it is.

  3. Your quilts are super. And the little wayward block makes me smile...it has its own charm.

  4. Lots of purples. They are kind of hard to find in quilt shops here.
