Miscellaneous

First - notice the blog layout change.  I was afraid to mess with it and screw it up, so I left everything alone for a long time.  I could stand it no longer, asked my friend V for advice and she sent me one long sentence of tips... and it worked!!

So much better and easier to read.

Finished my eighth Jelly Roll Quilt Along block:
I didn't follow the direction exactly but like the block.

My sister got a new Ipad and I surprised her with a new case:


It is perfect for her!

Audrey came to visit:
Mommy and Daddy said she needed a sun bonnet, so:


And DIL needed a Boppy cover for a baby shower gift:

Then another sweet grand niece tested my new quilts softness:

Little Audrey is so cute and I love the quilt below, the quilting looks great. My jelly roll quilt blocks are so wild I haven't posted pictures, they really need borders to calm them down. I like the colors you selected.

I really like the new blog layout, Mary. Little Audrey looks so sweet as she sleeps and so does your grandniece all snuggled up in your quilt. :-)

love the new blog look. Very nice! Little Audrey just looks so comfy relaxing right there. Your block 8 is great! I need to get working on mine. And that iPad case! I need some of that gnome fabric! I need to get cracking and order some before everybody else does!

Oh Mary, what cute things !! I think that little tyke sleeping on the floor is the CUTEST !!

Question - and I don't want to overstep my bounds here so please tell me if I am....Would you possibly pass on the tips that "V" sent along to you? One day I'd love to change up my blog's appearance - when time permits. I'm SO afraid of "just doing it" without guidance.
