First thought is take a picture of fabrics and e-mail Sara and invite her to come over and pick out a pattern and learn to cut out a top. (Not a real good idea, she lives in Chicago and it is a 12 hr drive)
Second thought is cut out the fabrics (Now that I have a GO cutter, I love to cut kits), snail mail them to Sara with instructions and encourage her to sew up the top! (I kinda like that idea)
Third idea is quit trying to make the Birthday girl do all the work, sew up the quilt top and invite her down to help quilt it (I am leaning towards this one- a win/win)- I would get to do a be-lated birthday hug and see her and our son.

| Going to be Scrappy, Now to decide on a setting! Now to figure out a setting, I think the best way to do that is send this post to Sara and let her pick! If I am lucky she will ask for the kit and choose to surprise me with her choice. I get dibs on the machine quilting!! If you were my favorite youngest son's girlfriend which setting would you like? I sewed up four sets of triangles and laid them out with yellow and/or white triangle corners. Looks like I left out the choice of white triangles w/white corners meeting in the middle.  July 20th, 2011Sara-NO-H decided she likes the yellow corners added to the blue triangles. She has spoken--so be it! I will need to cut more yellow which is great b/c I can use the cream triangles on the other quilt! I just love it when a plan comes together! Sara also is game to me sending her units to sew. I think I have just the perfect starter kit to send her. I knew there was a reason I have been cutting out so many kits!  July 23rd Finally have a few more blocks sewn together, I am liking how this is turning out! |
