I have lots of dark triangles that were cut over a couple years but didn't have any more light ones. I looked through my Kaffe 'large scrap' box and found a few more light ones to cut. This is the next batch I will sew. I have a table runner I may quilt and finish today.
My cousin and his wife who moved to Virginia 6 years ago stopped to see me Wednesday morning. They were in the area for a college graduation of one of their grandchildren. They had told me about one of their daughters and husband that are a foster home and that they are adopting a couple of the kids. I sent this quilt (finished April last year) home with them for the children. It has a lot of conversation/novelty fabrics in it.

What a lovely quilt for their family. It takes special, kind and caring people to foster children. Hope their adoption goes smoothly.
Love your friendship star quilt, what a nice gift for the kids. Wishing them all a sweet time together.
Broken Dishes pattern looks like it is a fun one to work on… And I had to enlarged the quilt you gifted away to see the fun novelty prints in it and they sure are.
nice to have visitors. We had a neighbor a long time ago that took foster children and then when they got the last two that they had they applied for adoption and got it for both of them and they had moved shortly after that. One day years later a young man stopped at our house and asked if either of our daughters still lived here he wanted to say hi - they didn't live with us anymore and he told me he used to live across the street and turned out he was the young boy they adopted. He said he was in the area visiting and that he had a very good life with them - he remembered playing with our girls and wanted to say hi. It is always nice to hear it turns out well for some foster kids that get adopted.
Isn't it nice to have quilts on hand? The Friendship Stars are so colorful. So are your Kaffe crockery (=broken dishes).
Just love, love all those colors! Great blocks and quilt!
