    Just peeking in, I have to say that I am SUPER jealous of Robert's quilt! They are all gorgeous, but that cherry tree border is Stunning!!

    Great job all! Wish I was in your group! :)

    Ok so we each need to make a different block. I say anywhere from 12x12 to 12x 18 it's for a female so let's find out seeing the consensus is family first so Linda and abonda what is her favorite colors.
    We can't all do zippers so maybe buttons someone said they used a garter the old ones they attached each end then they could fasten and unfasten then maybe a snap flap.
    Again the most important thing is be sure they are well attached so they can't be removed and put in their mouth.

    If we can all say what we are making so if someone already said it we can choose something else.

    Okay, so... I got out my Crazy Quilt scraps & found a lot of textured squares... zigzagged them down on a backing & then covered the seam with ribbon.

    These squares are very tactile.

    The yellow ribbon is velvet. I just have to sew down the squiggle and add buttons.

    Here is my Fidget block. I don't have a lot of ego involved, so if it doesn't go with whatever else you get, it's ok. I think it would make a fun pillow.
