I put my 20 completed blocks up on the design wall so I could feel like I'm actually working on this quilt.
I got all of the rest of the stratas pressed and now I have a count, 36 more blocks for a total of 56. That would make a quilt 56" x 64" which isn't long enough, or it can be a baby quilt and a lap quilt. I will look through my pink and green floral fabrics and see if I have anything to make alternate blocks from as another idea for a larger quilt.
Another car is headed west to my granddaughter's house to help with the 3 great grandkids so I baked frosted creams to send this time. I need to cut them and get them boxed up now.
I admit that I've never heard of frosted creams, so went looking on Google to find them. From what I gathered, it's a very basic type of recipe from the 40's, maybe during the war. One recipe had several spices added, while the other had none. They both had raisins that were parboiled to plump them up, one with vanilla, the other without. Did this recipe come from your mom? Enjoy the sun today!
Good progress on your pink and green. I know your grand daughter and family loves your frosted creams. They are so blessed to have you as their grandma.
that pink/green is so pretty--that cream baking looks just yummy....
