I decided to work on another 9 patch project while I wait for my backing fabric for the pink/purple quilts to arrive. I absolutely love paisleys and when I saw this blue one...well, you know! I've paired it with a light blue/white polka dot and am making a single Irish Chain. I also have been seeing the quilts with owls applique and I wanted to try it! Here are my fabric draws and inspiration.
pattern: Who LOOOVES You
I made the nine patches and cut the alternate plain block. The paisley will either look great in this or NOT, LOL. I'm reserving judgement until the end.

I'm at the point in my leaders and enders that I need to press, so I've been working on that here and there. My next step is to sew the 2-patches into 4-patches. I even got out the travel iron (smaller and lighter) to finish the job. These little patches seem to add up quickly.
My son visited for Mother's Day. We had a nice Mexican lunch and as he was heading home, DH decided to ride along with him. Since DH's crash and cancer diagnosis, he doesn't want to ride alone so I was happy K was willing to ride with him.

My daughter and I made the Whooo loves you quilt for my grandson-it was lost in the fire but I still have him. Memories.
