Birthday Blocks

My birthday is in the fall, but last year a group of friends decided to do birthday blocks for each other.  Our one 'rule' was that you could send your blocks anytime~ by the person's birthday, before, after, etc  I received some of my blocks when I was gone to the retreat in September. Others have come in the mail.  I chose the block Four Square 2 from Quilters Cache, and 'autumn' as my theme.

We decided to carry on and do the same thing this year.  Some of the gals chose Christmas-themed blocks, some autumns, etc. It is a little fun sewing every month. I forgot to take photo's of the two I most recently mailed.  But I did recieved 2 in the mail. So this is my 'group' of blocks so far~



This is going to be 'my' quilt.  Hopefully I will be able to put it together in December. ;-)

I am working on a few other projects, but can't show them to you... yet. So until next time~
Happy Quilting!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
