.. this lovely Post Card. It arrived this morning for NZ. My friend Sue (www.kiwikidspage.blogspot.com ) sent it for me to enjoy some NZ sunshine xx It is sitting above my sewing machine xx
When I was cleaning and sorting I found a bag with LOTS of 4 patch squares that I made .. some time ? when ?

.. the sharp eyed will have noted they are Kaffe Fassett fabrics .. so yummy x..
It will become a quilt for my ELDEST grandson. NOW either I cannot do maths (sadly true!) ....OR I was intending to do something different.. BUT when I finished I still had a pile of blocks over! SO .. I made..
this will be for the YOUNGEST grandson (you keeping up?)
While I was working on them I was talking to the MIDDLE grandson on Skype (he is in Perth, Western Australia) .. and HE has giving me advice about what to appliqué onto the centre of the little quilt x (he is ALWAYS giving me advice!!.. what can I say he is 10!! lol )
SO.. all 3 grandsons are involved here x The middle one had a quilt last year and one at Christmas so he is ahead of the other 2 lol x
Such a fun day x TO-MORROW I am going to start on the appliqué.. I TOLD YOU.. I am determined to get sewing this week xx (AND 3 posts in 3 days Wooo-Hoooo)

It's always good to get help and advice.
That is a great find and two lovely quilts will be the result. I think it is great the grandsons are interested and want to have input!!! Looking forward to seeing the appliqué. ....happy to hear the postcard arrived.
How grand that so many of the grand kids are involved somehow with those four patches! :) One can never have enough experiences with grand kids! :) Have even more fun creating!!! :) Terry
Those fabrics all look so good together.
I let my grandsons choose the colors and that has been tough enough.
The quilt (s) are great, Lovely combination of fabrics
There's something very satisfying about working with simple squares.
Both quilts looks great. Love that James gives all the advice :-)
