Busy Little Four Patch

                                            *GIVEAWAY CLOSED*


I got the itch to stitch the other day and made this cute little 4-patch quilt. The blocks measure 1-1/2" square and are made of red & ivory & black fabrics. The finished size is 11" x 14-1/2".

I quilted it on a diagonal grid with straight lines. It puckered up quite a bit when I washed it and got a little bit wavy, but I think it'll flatten out eventually.

My birthday is on January 1st and I'd like to give this little quilt away as a way of celebrating my 59th. Please leave a comment telling me you'd like to win it and I'll draw a name Wednesday night.

Of course, I'd like to win it--I love black and red--but since I am already blessed with a few pieces of your handiwork, I should probably not be included in the giveaway. It is so cute, Gayle--great job!
Oh, I didn't know you were a new year baby! I'll have to bring some happy birthday wishes to you when we are at the retreat next week! Can't wait!
Have a great birthday--we will all be celebrating for you/with you. : )
