Finally, a Quilt

I got to playing with some fabric last night and next thing you know I am six blocks into a quilt! I have only done 6 blocks - there will be 36 in total. My friend Cathie from my MIL's quilt group has chosen this pattern for her friendship blocks made for her by the group members as their outgoing president. Hers just looked so good I had to play. I love the secondary designs the block makes. Cathie's are 9 inch blocks and in green and creams. Mine are 6 inch blocks and shades of red and blue. I haven't decided if I will do any applique on it yet. Maybe once the top is done and the border is on I might do a little bit on the border. We'll see! The American Fork quilt show is on next week so I thought heck I'm here, I might as well make something to enter. I have until Monday. Think I can do it?!!! Like the little engine that could, I think I can....I think I can....

Onto something totally different - how would you like to be a kid again and fall asleep with a popsicle stick in your mouth??!! Don't worry - it was a sugar-free popsicle:)We had a lovely day today. We went for a drive through the American Fork Canyon and it was just beautiful. We stopped at a place called Cascade Springs where the rocks form naturally cascading little mini-waterfalls on many layers of terraces. The water was crystal clear and you could see trout in the water. It is so much fun to take the kids to places that my hubby and his sister and their mother went when they were young. Everything comes around.
