Old Favorites

First, I apologize for the lapse in posting. these last few weeks have been quite harried! I've been trying to find the balance.....you know the one.....between work, home, the kids, the committments. How to get it all done!

I suppose that's why I decided to make this quilt. It's one of the first patterns I designed, and quite frankly, just an 'old favorite'. Very simple to make, it's just one block, in four colorways. It makes me smile when I see it. There's just something so soft and sweet about it.

It reminds me of my childhood. We use to get these pastel colored candy dots on paper, similar to an adding machine tape. We'd pop a few in our mouths, and just let the sugary sweetness melt, pocketing the rest for later. They were days of playing in the sun, chasing friends, hop scotch and jacks, innocence and fun!

I suppose, when the world gets too busy, it's relaxing to go back to an 'old favorite'. Like mac-n-cheese, it brings me comfort, transports me to simpler times. Guess it's a good thing I can't eat the quilt, but I think I might make some mac-n-cheese today!
