Seeing red
We don't usually go overboard on Valentines Day around here, but it's always a great excuse to have some good chocolate and a glass of champagne (really, like I need an excuse). Yesterday I made a batch of Snickerdoodles and put red sprinkles on top just for fun. And since they may not last the weekend when my son comes home for a visit, I might make some cupcakes today.
The mini quilt was inspired from here, although I wasn't in the mood for cutting tiny 1.25 inch pieces of fabric, so I went with 2.5 instead and just made one block with corner triangles for a finish of 17.5 inches square. All the organizing and cutting of my scraps is giving me lots of little squares to play with, and it looks as though they will come in handy when I want to whip up a quick project like this.
The book got some great reviews, and I thought it would fit right into the Valentines Day theme.
Hope you all have a great weekend! Eat chocolate. The end.
