I find it difficult to just grab any piece of fabric without looking and sew but get brave sometimes and ‘throw caution to the wind’ :-P Guess I like to control my scrap quilts a bit but it makes for a slower process. Anyway, I started feeling that the blocks are all the same which of course isn’t true for a crumb quilt. So to add some diversity and do something different I made a ‘LOVE block’ for DH’s quilt :-P No pattern just did it as I went. The ‘L’ in Love doesn’t have enough contrast and doesn’t stand out but I know it’s there. I’m going to make another one that says JOY and have also started a house block. Just doing it as I go and making it work. Hope you like the 'Love' block.
I hate to sound stupid, but being new to this msg. board, what does DH mean?

http://quiltinggallery.com/2009/04/2...ters-acronyms/ You could search here for abbreviations and get info too. A helpful tip from one of the quilters here (don't remember who) is to print them out and keep them by your computer.
