    Very cute block. I like the sound of the happy block.

    How about HALF square triangles?

    Love the block! It's so beautiful!

    I bought some great FQs today. I've lost 4.5 lbs since starting the weight loss challenge in September so I get to make four blocks. I hope to add four more this month. I can't wait to start sewing them!!

    I weighed a day early, last night, I generally weigh on Monday. I lost 2 more pounds. I don't know how. It must have been water retention because all I did for 3 days was pee. It drove me crazy!!! Now I have got to find some more notions fabric so I can make my blocks or I can just wait til the ones from Tru come in. I went shopping and couldn't find any. I may have to change what I want to do. No I don't think so, I like the idea of using the notions fabric for my blocks. It'll just take me longer to get them done but I can live with that. Sorry I have a tendency to ramble when I'm tired.

    I weighed this morning and I am down 2 pounds! great except it's mainly cause my weight is at it's highest ever. Every journey starts with a single step. Now my dillema is fabric. I really want this project to end up on my bed so I want fabric I really love. Nothing in my stash that goes well in my bedroom. I went looking at Joann's yesterday and didn't find anything i really loved. So I am going to wait until next week end and go looking again. Hopefully at this time next week, I will need to at least 4 blocks!
    Congrats cjomomma on your loss!
