We are quilting along with Barbara Brackman's

Block of the Week, Grandmother's Choice.

This is how I made my block, it may differ a

bit from the original.

It is Easter Sunday here in the USA. Finally, it

looks like Spring has arrived though I have heard

rumors of snow flurries in a few days. Noooooo!

I am so happy to see Spring-like weather that it

inspired my fabric choices this week. Something

bright and happy and floral.
