now i'm only half-way behind....!

We spent July 4th here on Wolf Lake in the family home of friends. We always eat, sleep & laugh more when we're up North. I think it's the fresh air and good company that does it!!
Got busy with this early this morning, after tracing and cutting templates for the first six FW blocks last night.
So here's the start of what looks like a happy quilt to me. The templates are kinda fun--just have to remember a scant 1/4 inch seems to keep them the correct size. Forgot about fusing the basket handle, so it's just raw edge appliqued to the block. May have to revise that one....

Here's how our days ended, before the fireworks began 3 out of 4 nights!! Sure was a nice way to start our week's vacation.

OOh, your vacation home looks so nice and the lake is wonderful. Lucky you to see so many fireworks. Your blocks are happy! How big are they? Only 105 to go!! :)

Such a wonderful place to spend some time and rejuvenate the batteries.
