Last July, the grandgirls, Isabel and Ilena were playing with these blocks and having a great time arranging them into designs and shapes and playing match-up games with them. So now I've sewn them into quilt tops for them. We added pictures of the family and them, plus a colorful border. Very easy and I hope, a fun reminder of the time they spent with Grandma and Pop-Pop (Grandpa) playing with the quilt blocks. Perhaps their first experience "designing" a quilt??!!
Time spent with grandkids is so precious...just this last week-end we spent time with our grandboys to celebrate Evan's 4th BD with a party in the park where the kids did a craft and played, and best of all rode the "Sophie train." What a great day his Mom had planned out for him. He was a wonderful little host. I was so proud of him as he opened his gifts and "ohhed" and "ahhed" over each one and thanked his guests. All in all a grand day, even though all the adults were soooo tired!!!
Let quilting help you make someone smile!

Lovely quilts for the girls, and I just realized that each have the letter "I" as their first name. So very cute with the pictures, they will love them.
THanks Debi, they sure were fun to make!
I'm so sorry I missed this post on the day you did it. I LOVE that you added pictures and the I's are just perfect. Absolutely perfect. Plus, when Ilena's eyes change from blue to green (we have resigned ourselves to this fact - everyone else's eyes have changed from blue to green), we will have a sweet reminder that she had blue eyes at this time.
Thanks dd2--my memory is of the fun we all had with these colorful quilt squares!
