Alphabet Quilt

I spent a good chunk of my time today catching up on the letter blocks for the alphabet quilt that Cheri is posting on her blog - I even stitched a couple that I could figure out by myself so I'm a little bit ahead of the game! Instead of using just two fabrics like she is, I decided to make mine with scrappy backgrounds. It'll be tricky choosing just the right fabric for the sashing when I get to that point in my sewing so wish me luck.

My little grandson - who isn't quite two yet - came to our house for a couple hours this evening while his mom & dad went to a movie. He explored my studio and found the blocks laying out on the floor - and now they look like this! LOL

I LOVE these blocks in the multi-colored version you are doing. Just beautiful, Gayle.
My grandkids seem to gravitate to my sewing room. From experience I have learned to put projects away when they are coming. : )

can't blame him for wanting to play with the blocks!

Love your blocks - I like the scrappy look better than the 2 color, I think!

Gayle, All kinds of cute mental pictures of your grandson with the blocks goes through my mind ;0)

Can't wait to see the finished quilt!

I love the scrappy backgrounds on your alphabet blocks! Wonderful! Always nice to have help arranging things! For some reason it always pleased me to have my baby grandson take an interest in playing with my fabric and throwing it around. They can do no wrong!
