Only waiting on four more packages. I think everyone will be pleased with the squares. There are some really neat ones! Mailing deadline is November 20 if you haven't sent them to me yet.

NO IDEA! waiting to see them, maybe something will come to mind. I was thinking about 3 projects since I have 3 kids though, or maybe it will just be for me :lol:

Oh my, I was looking at a snowball design also with different solid colors for the corners. And, depending on the colors in the squares, a sashing between each to bring out the colors. Maybe a red or blue for the sashing. I saw a picture of one done that way and it really caught my eye. Also, MaryQuilts.com has one she did called, "Happy Blocks for HeartStrings". I took a picture of her quilt and will try to attach it for you to see. This is her quilt, not mine. But it gave me another idea. It will help stretch the blocks to make more than one quilt for the grand babies.

From MaryQuilts.com called "Happy Blocks for HeartStrings". Google it and she has directions in PDF format.

Since some of my grands will be "too old" for a I spy quilt by the time I get enough fabrics for each to have one, I decided to make them each one for their children, (my great grandkids) Yep!!! I am planning ahead!!! I will be making around 12 of them :D :D :D
I may make one to keep at my house right away...so that I may enjoy one with them, right now :wink: :D :D :D
