Thank you all for your thoughtful wishes and loved the pretty graphics too! Ernie is taking me to Crabby Bill's this evening and I'm going to 'pig out' on King Crab Legs...then it's off for an evening of dancing. Happiest of Birthdays to my birthday buddy bunny--or is it my bunny buddy? ;)

Maybe we should form an unmonitored - no rules - "Birthday Club", where we sign-up initially - just to see who wants to participate & take a pledge to finish a quilt from the Birthday Block Exchange, from any or all years, and post a picture of it during the month of your birthday. All January Birthday Babies post their finished quilts from previous year's Birthday Blocks during the month of January, all in one thread so as not to dominate the forum. No pressure, you can drop out by not doing it, or you can join in because you finished your quilt. This would help to keep us involved, celebrate birthdays, and maybe get that quilt made without any obligation, added expense, or running to the post office.

My slip up, everyone, and I am sorry. There is one more birthday in Patchwork Pines during September. I did not realize that a group had 3 members in a single month and forgot to turn the page on that list when I was posting this earlier. Thanks to a member who sent me a reminder! Here is the correct list Carolina Lilies September 26 - hazelnutbunny Patchwork Pines September 10 - geezerfolks/SharonG/FL September 17 - teresa_nc7 September 21 - Odessa Quilts Galaxy Stars September 10 - grammyp September 21 - Odessa Quilts Best Friends None I guess the good news for Patchwork Pines is that you have two remaining birthdays in October and then your year is finished!

It looks a lot like the beautiful blocks I received in 2007. I also made a small baby quilt (in the next post). I quilted each star individually, mostly SITD. I don't know why the picture is so blurry! I won't post the other one. This post was edited by bozogardener on Mon, Sep 22, 14 at 10:14
