How about doing a "Heart" block on those weeks where we gain weight. Or some other block for inspiration?
Maybe I'll do Sun Bonnet Sue and have her start out real fluffy then every week have her a bit less fluffy!

This is a cool idea. I'm in!!! I've lost 41 lbs since April and I still have a LOT to lose.
I posted a photo on the PICTURES board of a quilt I made using 100 half-square triangles. That might work for someone who wants to lose 100 lbs.
I'll just keep to Weight Watchers program for the rest of my life, keep losing the lbs, keep healthy thoughts and healthy food, and keep making these blocks. I'll figure our what to do with them later on, when I'm thin!
I think I will keep it simple and make a 9patch or 4patch or even a tiny Log Cabin or Hourglass block. Sure would be nice to cover a design wall with blocks and have visual of the weight that's disappeared.

Plus my dog is 10 pounds overweight...she's supposed to be 10 pounds in all and she weighs 20 pounds!!! We definitely need to walk!
Whoever mentioned the hourglass block really got me grinning!
I've always wanted to make a disappearing nine patch, so that may be what I do.

I have lost 10 so far. I should make one block of the quilt that I was supposed to make for my bed that I never get to since I'm always making something for others. I feel guilty working on mine. Probably because I hear: Why are you working on that one instead of mine. I have to work on multiple quilt and craft projects at once to get things done.
