Elizabeth it was just one of those little 4 seater cessna type pleasure planes hire for an hour or something...that was some experience, he let Ryan have the controls right up to the point of touch down - boy was my heart in my mouth, I didn't mind Ryan zooming us up and down to look at the turtles but I sure didn't fancy him landing the blinking thing...lol :lol: :lol:

:lol: Seeing that my daughter is nearly 3 I don't think I need to worry to soon about her flying us around. My dh on the other hand, is so aware of my comfort levels that he made me love jet ski-ing!

The flip flops are too cute! That pillow idea will be great too. Love it!

I'm getting to use a lot of my funky FQ for this one. I'm also doing a Cat quilt for my cousin, and instead of sewing buttons on for the eyes, will use some of the fusable scraps from the flip flops.

OK, which Flip Flop should I use for the single pillow for the two year old and should I have them going up and down as in the pic, or going the long way?

The one on the right is the original pair I was going to use. Still going to use the yellow as the pillow front.

Ok, my vote for the 2 yr. old is the pair with the big cirles and they should go up & down. These are darling and your project is getting to be more fun every time I see it!

I don't know what pattern you are using for this (I love it, by the way) but a flip-flop quilt is PERFECT for my oldest grand-daughter who only wears something else besides flip flops when she's barrel racing! 8) She even wears them for 'regular' riding! :roll:

anyway, I found a pattern last night online:
http://quickquilts.com/curiss/705_wbff_pattern/[url]

that can be used to make the squares.... (even a bikini pattern :wink: )

and you can make the squares any size you want (as long as it's big enough for a 'pair' of flip-flops) :D
