I hope everyone had a happy weekend. As I keep saying, The 4th of July is my favorite Holiday. I like it more than Christmas. My SIL asked why even more than Christmas? My answer, you get, Family, Food, Fun, Picnics, Kick-Ball, Bean Bag Toss, a new Dictionary game we played this year, warm weather, swimming if you want, and it ends in a spectacular firework display! It is a Holiday, which does not take months to prepare for and brings me such joy. It makes me so thankful, to be able to live here, and so thankful for all the men and women, that make it possible. I just love it!!
On another note, I did get two blocks done for the ATWQB Swap.
This first block was to be a “liberated” house. I hope she likes the block.
The second was to tell a story of yourself. Most of the fabric is self-explanatory.; but for those of you who do not know, my favorite color is pink and I love glitter. The little floral print has glitter.
Super fun blocks to make!!

I love how you left the selvage on the tree. I've been collecting selvages for a project, (not sure what yet), and remember when those were such a no no, especially to put in a quilt. Now, they can play too!
Great blocks. I love the blue bubbly fabric around the outside of the first block.
You're right about the 4th. It is alot of fun and an easy holiday. Not too much prep work months.weeks ahead of time. Easy cooking and decorating gives you hours of fun with friends and family!
Cute blocks. I noticed the selvage on the tree.
Love the block about You.
Very very cute blocks.. I love them. Your little houses are so darn cute. Never hurts to have a little sparkle in our lives is there? Selvages are fun.... :) I just thought I would pop in and tell you to come by and see what I have been up to on your block swap :)
Happy stitiching..

oh my goodness! i love these blocks - so fun and happy and bright and imaginative - just like you! ☺
I really like the idea of a block that tells a story about yourself. I have seen whole quilts like that, but never a block. I guess a block would be a little more of a challenge.
Glad you had a great time....love the blocks
Great story block, Jane - I see you all over it - pink, family, candy, etc....wonderful!
Cheers!
Ha - my word very is quiltt!!
What a great way to describe the Fourth!! It has always been a favorite of mine but I just love how you wrapped it up so nicely! Great blocks too!
How wonderful your block is!! I also love how you described the 4th. We didn't have any of that but sounds like you had a wonderful time.

Very cute blocks..Great story block, Jane ... I'm seeing selvages for the first time in a new light and how much fun they can be.

That personal block is a fun idea!
I'd say it really suits you!
I love both blocks. The personal block is great. I have never heard of it before. It would be a great family quilt.
