Happy Valentine's Day!!

I have finished the January Block!  Mom gave me some good ideas on how to finish.  I quilted each block before I appliqued the letters and stars.  

I also found out that my sewing machine wasn't able to do a blanket stitch or a zig-zag stitch.  I think something is wrong with my machine or me :). 

Instead I just stitched around the edges of the letters and stars.

I'm going to finish the back just as soon as all the fabric is washed and dried.  I'm going to do the back of the letters in straight colors with a companion sashing from the front.  I'll show you when I'm done.

I'm going to spend the rest of the day cutting out the fabric for this month's block - the letters 'b', 'c', and 'd'.

Month 1 completed!

Mom shared a picture of her blocks.  She is doing 2 quilts at the same time.  I think the one with the hearts is very cute!!!  Nice job, Mom!!

Mom's blocks!
