This year I have to learn to say NO and not to over commit.... So here goes....
What I did during the week.
I continued on my WONKY STAR BLOCKS.
Here I am working on my block
http://superscrappy.blogspot.com.au
I continued on with a yellow block and a red block. This gives me enough blocks to finish the quilt. I wanted to show these seperate blocks even though I have already shown the finished quilt the other day.
I have been making these blocks/quilts throughout 2014 and now continuing into 2015. I made 4 quilts for my sons closest girlfriends for their 21sts. It has been very hard but needs to be done. Everyone has to move on.
The labels on each qullt were personalised and are very touching. A few tears were shed when written and again when read. Memories will live on.
I am linking up with Soscrappy, Scrap Happy Saturday
It was with Angela's help and motivation that I managed to get all these blocks and quilts done. Thanks Angela for all your motivation..

Very generous and loving of you to make these memory quilts.
The finished quilt in the photo is spectacular. Such a simple idea but so delightful in the finish. The girlfriends will doubtless appreciate your generosity in helping to keep his memory alive.
