Here is the back.
Here is what 2nd place will get. A Moda Flannel Charm pack.
3rd place will get this fabric postcard I made.

Update on Kids
Our appointment went well. Joshua is good to go. His sty is going away. Andrew’s ear is all better but he is still rattling in his chest. They did an x-ray and it was clear. So they gave him a breathing treatment and I have to do them at home. Hopefully in the next few days the rattle will be gone.
I was able to sew these blocks together this morning while Andrew took a little nap. Nine patches seems to fly together. Too bad all quilt blocks aren’t so quick. 
Today is the last day to leave a comment for the fat quarter I am giving away in the morning. Here is another look at it.
Andrew Rolled Over
Way to go Andrew. Last night he rolled over all the way for the first time.
Look at that drool. LOL. Too cute. Here he is giving Elmo hugs.
Free Motion Quilting & Fabric Postcards
Today I took the plunge and tried free motion quilting. I have had the foot for a while. So I got a scrap block and practiced.
Can anyone who quilts with a machine suggest why I am getting a little loopy on the back. Is my tension to tight or loose? It was hard trying to keep the fabric moving.
I also did this postcard.
My oldest son Tyler wanted to make a postcard. So he went through my scraps and sewed these pieces together. Not too bad. I did the rest of the work for him.
