They seem better in the summer ….

Block #8 ‘Vacations!’ … For some reason I feel vacations in the summer are sweeter. The weather is warm, the locations are exciting, and it’s something that reminds us of childhood when school was out and we had so many carefree days to play!
As you are reading this on release day, I’m actually on vacation with my family celebrating my dad’s 80th birthday .. fun fun!

When I put 3 blocks together it looks like a perfect table runner project
Fast and fun to showcase pretty fabric, maybe you have some Easter fabric to use? I love this Cottontail Cottage HERE, it’s so darling!

The yellow is making me very happy in this block! The plan is to have yellow in each row.. sunny happy yellow!
Now to make your block and share a photo below at the quilt show, and join my Facebook Group for all the wonderful fun!
