BUT I love yours and it makes me wish I had the time and patience to make one! I get too antzy even when completing the hotpads. I am ready to move on to something new before I even get done with one!
But your pansies are fantastic! I love how you did the squares in the corners! If I am going to ever get one I will probably have to buy one from someone!!
Oh well I can dream about making one!
Can't wait to see the next one!

Thanks Rhonda! I have to say, I am impatient to finish things as well, but this was the quickest quilt I've pieced! And it stays interesting as you take each little stack of triangles and see what K they make! Go on, I dare you!

The first week in June I have kids 5 days out of 7. Due to Scout camp and Sara's fil has to be out of the office so she has to fill in (can't have the kids in there all day) and my usual weekends with kids - 6 grandkids
under the age of 10 to fit in!
This is just going to have to go on my whenever I get time list! But I may try a smaller version. Hmmm I'm thinking maybe tote bag? Not as impressive but I wonder....... What I could do with this idea........

You go Rhonda! I can hear the cogs whirring from here! Sounds like you've got your hand full with the kids though - you could always shut them in the oven for a bit of peace and quiet! LOL

He loves closed in tight places- good sensory stuff! He is always trying to get behind it and under it where the space is tight and close.
