Carrie.....there is NO JOB as important as "moming". What kids experience during their home years, extends way into adulthood. I know......I have three....51,50 and 48. I see glimpses of their "upbringing" in so many ways and at so many times.......Quilting is a nice diversion, but one of these days, you may have a ton of time to do it....if you don't now, oh well.....

Gardnergal.......I appreciate the numbers and info......I really like this line. I do, however, have several stores fairly nearby so will go have a "look-see" before I make a choice......this will definitely be on my list to see.

No problem. I also went shoppin' w my DM yesterday, & tanight we all go out ta eat! I guess my actual B-day will be kinda slow. I'm thinkin' of sewin' all that day! I'm so spoiled!

I agree! Being a Mom is important! Yet when they are gone ya will have a lot's of quiltin' ta do! It'll keep the empty nest from feelin' so empty. I've only got 1 left at home & he is in college so not much for me ta do for him. More time ta quilt!

Here are my first 30! I have decided I am going to turn this quilt into two lap quilts, like I did the FWSQ. I'm going to put all the blocks with the horses in them into one quilt, and all the "other" blocks into the other. This came to me suddenly....duh... when I was trying to preview the background fabrics for the sashing. The sashing colors I have been previewing look great with the horse fabric, but don't do much for the "other" fabrics. I'll keep working on it!

Happy Birthday Bev! I hope you had a great day/week LOL

Jeanie, your blocks are beautiful!

Here are the horse blocks with a background I am considering. Tell me what you think!

I love your "30" blocks JeanieG. It yells "California" to me....bright and cheerful and happy. Does that mean with California contented cows, there are "contended" horses as well?? At one time, California had more horse per capital for people than any other state. Or maybe just contended quilters that do a lovely job of quilting like you do.

JeanieG ... what a great assortment and a cheery lot of blocks. I know you're considering that brownish Fusions MIst ... have you considered white as in your first pic? The white seems to work really well with all the blocks!
